I still hope for a great love and a life of joy with a partner who has worked hard to attain a truly broad education, a high level of achievement in work that he loves and is dedicated to, who is what he does, not what he is paid to do, someone who reads voraciously, loves to discuss and debate without needing to be right, wants and loves travel, who cares about his health and attends to it, who would expect his adult children to welcome a new joy in their father's life, who knows the world is a global village and that we are its citizens, who wants an equal partner to walk with and see through our last third of life.
