Figure I'm finally old enough to discover what women are all about. Perhaps something to do with these lyrics from Victor Herbert's song in his 1910 Operetta "Naughty Marietta": "Ah! Sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee; Ah, I know at last the secret of it all; All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning; The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!; For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking; And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!; 'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living; For it is love alone that rules for aye!". OK, maybe not! Desirable partner qualities: moderately active; likes outdoors; healthy lifestyle; natural/organic foods; generally cheerful; tolerant attitude (especially for this knucklehead?); non-tobacco; minimal alcohol. Portland Oregon area. Thanks for reading this!
