It Wouldn't Make Me Sing


Yeah, it wouldn't make me king.

I got a call today during which a very adult conversation was had (no, I don't mean talking dirty.  Get your mind out of the gutter).  It was very kindly explained to me that a date wasn't going to be in the cards right now.  It was handled well by both of us, mostly by her.  She had class.  She had grace.  She told me in the way that I would like to think I would tell someone else in a similar situation.  We spoke for a while after about this and that.  We laughed.  We get off the phone and I feel-- oddly enough-- kind of happy.

It's nice to know I can still feel this way about a woman.  It gives me hope.  And now, to my one and only reader, I will say this: remember that long period of abstinence I told you about?  Here she comes.

bummer . . . I did 18 months. It was good for me.

Yeah, well, I'm at a little over 1 month and I'm already staring out my office window at the cleft in the hill across the highway and thinking about how it looks a little like a vagina. Sweet Jesus, I need help.

there are at least two of us. it's just some of us don't have that auto-feed thing that tells us it's time to come back after you've taken a break for a while.

i'm glad your break is over.
