--- Insert long overdue journal entry here ---
jk...
Things have been so crazy busy (in a good way) the past few months. I could still manage a comment on a few sets and left a couple of comments in various journals though. My girl and I seemed to be in "bonding mode" (that means lots of alone time talking and stuff...) but that's ovah now... actually, really over. Some relationships just go that way (at least for me) where it goes all hot and heavy for a period of time then you wake up one morning and things are different. In this case it sorta got a nudge... lemme 'xplain...
So T. has this friend a few years older than she (in other words more my age) about whom T. would always talk. On more than one occassion she told me that her friend and I would get along famously. When I finally met S. it was over dinner and wine and cavorting around The City in Big Yellow Taxis, having way too much fun. Longtime readers will remember how shy T. is, especially in public, and how that was nearly a deal breaker for me when we first met. During the course of the evening in question S. and I proceeded to have a wild and crazy time which (I think now, in retrospect) made T. feel sort of left out by the end of the evening. There was no drama over it, but that was the beginning of the end. Plus, S. called that Sunday evening "just to talk" and we spent until the wee hours Monday morning on the phone. I never do that. And apparently, neither does she.
Roll forward three weeks... S. and I have "seen" one another a time or three and have had what can only be described as amazing times. Amazing times. We are, as T. put it, "getting along famously." That this situation has not killed the friendship between those two is also amazing... but I think when things are just obvious then reality is a bit easier to take. Plus, T. is still going through all sorts of emotional b.s. with ex-husband which made life (at times, for us) a bit rocky. By contrast I seem to be just one more boy in a long list of boys for miss S... not to make her sound shallow or slutty or anything else bad, mean, or unsavory. She is way cool. I think she just tends to take life as it happens and doesn't worry too much about what might happen... because 98% of the stuff you worry about never happens anyway and the other 2% never goes the way you thought it would. So, why worry?
And oh yeah... I've been getting the chance to fly lately. Woo-hoo! The weather has been good so I've been taking little airborne adventures to visit friends and relatives in distant places. Wheeeee! My wallet is feeling the pain though... avgas is bloody expensive! Oh, and S. loves to fly... so that's major bonus points to her.
As Tigger says TTFN...
