About Me
I'm a 65-year-old male, retiring June 30 after a long nonprofit career. Divorced, socially connected, organized, and tidy. I enjoy live music, travel often, and appreciate a home that's both relaxed and respectful.
About You
* Ideally mature and financially stable (grad student, professional or retired)
* Dependable, communicative, and considerate
* Clean and organized in shared spaces
* Social but not looking for a party house
* Values a balance of connection and independence
Household Vibe
* Friendly, easygoing, and adult
* Open to occasional shared meals or groceries (omnivore)
* Moderate alcohol/weed-fine, but low-key
* Guests/partners welcome 2-3x/week (no de facto third roommate)
* Minimal TV in main living room (separate TV space downstairs)
