New England
We rented a car in Hartford and headed for Cape Cod. It was one of those “wing it” trips with no hotel reservations. She had never
visited New England; I knew my way around pretty well, having gone to camp in Maine as a youngster.

Yellowstone
When we entered Yellowstone National Park, we were handed a map and a yellow flyer that read, "Warning. Many visitors have been
gored by buffalo. Buffalo can weigh 2,000 pounds and can sprint at 30 mph, three times faster than you can run. These animals may
appear tame but are wild, unpredictable and dangerous. Do not approach buffalo."

Palm Springs Getaway
Next, I said, "What are you doing tomorrow?" By then, she thought I had lost my marbles. Again, she did not respond.
I said, "Good. Let’s go to Palm Springs tonight."
"How romantic," she said, "I’d love to."

AARP Chicago
Middle-age singles often ask where they can go to be among people, meet other singles and get involved in activities. Often, they
wait until Friday or Saturday night before asking themselves, "Where can I go tonight to meet someone?" Then they're disappointed
because finding an appropriate place at the last minute is difficult. They focus only on Orange County when they could be including
places beyond the county.

The Today Show
"Forever Young" is the name of a segment featured regularly on NBC-TV's Today Show in New York City. It focuses on dating after 50
and finding love after 50, a concern for older singles who are dating and seeking a mate.

Week-End Date In Los Angeles
Normally, we don't spend Sundays together. Personal projects and work demand our time. To have breakfast and read the newspaper in
bed is a luxury for us. Room service it was.

San Diego
Middle-aged singles often ask where they can go to be among people and get involved in activities. I tell them it depends on their
interests.
For people age 50-plus there was a perfect example of where to go last week within driving range of Orange County.

Surprising your girlfriend with a train ride
Women love to be surprised by their sweeties on Valentine’s day. For guys, it’s a challenge to come up with something new every year.
This time, I planned a surprise using the Internet and wanted to keep my partner Greta guessing.

Charleston, South Carolina
Spoleto Festival
Walking through the streets of Charleston is a historical treasure hunt. The old mansions are restored beautifully. Trip lesson three:
Be flexible. When traveling together, do things your partner likes, even if interests are different.

Haywood of Dana Point, Greta and I drove together to Beverly Hills.

Simon and Garfunkel, In Orange County
When Simon and Garfunkel took the stage, my initial reaction was, egad, they've aged. The first few notes were discordant. But it
didn't take them long to regain their old harmony and collect standing ovations.
