Oneline Dating; Are You Kidding Me?

Every once in a while, something gives me the biggest chuckle.  I couldn't resist posting this bio spotted on an online dating site.  What is the FIRST thing you notice about this person?  If you haven't figured it out half way down, I've helped.  It is highlighted in red.  Please, tell me were you surprised?

Healthy, fit SWM 63 NS 5'9" 163#. I've earned my living for 40 yrs as a Timber Framer/ designer/hands-on builder. Business owner, learned from my successes and failures. I'm refocusing, ready for new commitments, more successes. From 1975 to ‘80, I worked 3 yrs as a HS/MS teacher&dorm parent in a residential school w an integrated psychotherapy program for all staff & students. Post-teaching, I was legal guardian for a former student - 34 yrs later we have love, friendship & respect. He's in LI, NY a good father to his 5 kids. While running my TF business, I own & care for a piece of farmland 1 hr N of NYC - raising native plants & trees & Australian Shepherds. I'm an adventurous gardener (vegs, herbs, flowers & ornamentals), cook & eater. Sometimes I dine (w thanks to my father). As a boy of 9 & 10 yrs old I lived w my family in the tropical rainforest on the island Sumatra, Indonesia. We traveled some in Asia & Europe. Back to the States, I had a "normal" white suburban HS education & loved being an Eagle Scout. Curious & rebellious, at 18 I worked my way trans-Pacific on a Danish freight ship to Australia to explore a new land. Back home, I burned my draft card in 1969, dropped out of U of Mich and joined Draft Resistance and Ann Arbor Newsreel Collective, worked to end the US war in Viet Nam. In my 20s & 30s I was hungry to learn, bold enough (& lucky) to find exceptional mentors - 3 men & 1 woman - in their 70s and 80s, wise & skilled, whom I spent as much time with as I could. Also in my 20s & 30s I traveled to Mexico, Russia, 4 Central Asian Soviet Republics, Oz (Austr.) 2 more times, & to Japan to visit a "Hiroshima Maiden" (A-bomb survivor) who had lived w our family for the year 1955, getting plastic surgery in NYC - my mother arranged this thru the Quakers. Also in Japan I visited gardens, temples, houses, palaces & museums, restorations in progress & a lumberyard. All trips so inspiring!! I like to travel light & simple - Hostels, BackPackers’ Inn, B&Bs, or stay with locals or friends. In 2004 I visited LaPocatierre Quebec (w dogs), & I took a Timber Frame tour of East Anglia, England - 2 more great countries w inspiring people! Awkward & enthusiastic dancer - the right partner helps smooth me out. I’m an experienced backpacker/camper, & I like cooking out. I love the huge variety of cultural & educational experiences available in NYC. For Kucinich in 2004, I continue to advocate for his/our progressive platform. 2008 we took control of Congress from Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Abramoff & their swindling corporate partners but they & Supreme Court came back w a vengeance in 2010. What important victories we won in 2012 - keep on pushin'! I have joys, sorrows, humor, patience, plus a life view/commitment to self awareness & personal growth. Ninteen yrs ago I concurred w a trusted, long-time therapist that I'm an ADD person. That perspective opened possibilities for understanding, acceptance, & to change some things in my life for the better - and so I grow. I've had some deep, loving, respectful, passionate relationships; often mixed w wishful thinking that I needed to learn from. I'm ready to find a special woman - my match. I’m committed to make our love grow stronger by everyday actions, & to keep learning & sharing. I've been an active volunteer in my community: riding & Board Member of our Vol Ambulance Corps, firefighter w Vol FD, garden volunteer & Bd Member of The Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden. I love this land I'm on, would love to share it with the one I love. Also, I'm willing to rent or sell it and move. I'm clearing out "stuff"! I would relocate for love & a better life - maybe Left Bank of the Hudson River, Virginia, VT, the Pioneer Valley, the West US, a great University town, Australia or.... whaddya got? I/we could travel & explore for a year, looking for & choosing a new home & community.
About You:	I'm longing to find an independent, attachable, expressive, humorous & sensuous woman who is kind and outgoing - single, divorced or widowed (w/w.o. children). "Separated" often isn't "available". Non-Smoking. Health conscious - not extreme. HWP. (Pls don't surrender to obesity as the new "national average" - for men, women or children). Little or no make-up and perfume, you have your own sense of style. If "vegan" is your primary self definition we prob aren't a good match. No fundamentalists of any religion - I try to stay grounded, in my body, on this earth, & deal straight, person to person. I'll respect you, try to understand you, protect & support you, but not convert you. You & I share some interests & a progressive political perspective. You've been rewarded by your own introspection, & by your commitments, struggles & accomplishments. You prob know & can do lots of things I can’t. You participate in community, & want a safe loving home. You got a world view, a tender soul & a sharp mind? ready for give and take, for commitment? Ah, yes!! for the sweetness and pompetous of love? marriage? Possibly relocate?
Of course, there is more but for your eyesight and mine, I'm not adding it.  Whew.
