chazzbird: different drummer seeks progressive co-conspirator for rhytm & resonance. Oakland, CA, California

I found the meaning of life, but forgot to write it down! "You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."- YOGI BERRA Tall (6'4) 210 lbs, nice-looking, mentally / physically active, politically PROGRESSIVE, (meaning that if you don't think that decent housing, food and health care are basic human entitlements, please stop here:) respectfully irreverent (In the spirit of Michael Moore and Abby Hoffman :), emotionally Accessible and responsible man seeks warm, livelyspirited, unyuppified co-conspirator, over 39, at least 5'4" , REGULAR EXERCISER (both physical and mental) & not excessively overweight -for city / country adventures. You seek a partner who when called upon knows how to turn it around to make love to your mind and converse with your body. I am gentle, pretty upfront and honest about myself, and treat women with respect , honor and a sense of dignity. I have a very healthy, active libido, but at this point in my life would prefer a situation with someone that I have some sort of connection with in addition to being boink buddies. (Been there, done that:-) If you have kids.....I love children and want them to always be in my life --they are no barrier as long as Your life is structured such to have ENOUGH adult time and privacy to explore a connection with someone new. If you respond, It means you have TIME , and ENERGY to explore a CONNECTION with the Right person and that you are within a half hour's time of the Oakland /Berkeley neighborhood.. While any worthwhile connection takes work I don't want a situation where it is always a major production just to get together. I keep company with whales, dolphins, sea otters, great blue herons, parrots, an American eskimo pup, jazz buffs and other select humans. Don't care whether you're a bagel baker or brain surgeon by trade(how 'bout a brain baker or bagel surgeon?) native intelligence and heart speak to me! No TOBACCO smokers, although I've been known to partake of herbal sacrame
