Missed this place, had to stop by & say Hi!

No sooner had I jumped back into the blogging scene earlier this year when I seemed to have stepped on my own dick..

I was interested in six wonderful women; one in-town, one across town, another across the state, two on the west Coast and one on the other side of the world.

The in-town friend had been friends for about ten years, and we still are..she is only 31 and more like a little sister that always seemed to have bad things happen to her, despite being truly a Good Person. I have done things for her before & will continue, but for an unknown reason, she'll only call when she needs something. Never a social call. Maybe out of embarrassment. I coaxed her and her twin sister over for dinner one evening..had great conversation.. I wonder what she thinks of me...

The cross-towner lashed at me with a pretty harsh email after I tried to help out a bit..I can forgive her, she was under some duress. I have not talked to her since..

The cross-stater and I had been friends for almost 10 years, always friends, one of us was always attached when the other wasn't. No sooner did it start to look promising (..to include a Caribbean cruise this summer..) when she takes a boyfriend and totally falls for the guy. Of course, I wished her the best, we're still in touch every week or so, but in baseball percentages, I'm batting far less this season than last...

The West Coast Anns are similar; the friend in LA is my closest friend..she has been nursing a broken heart for the last year and was just starting to get over it...and she finds a biker boyfriend in her neighborhood. With cancer. And he's, like, 55. Of course I support her and pray for her happiness.

The other Ann was a true gem..in Canada..lovely in every aspect, had a long conversation with her one evening and realized that I'm just not good enough for her. On the positive side, women like that cause men like me to want to be better. If only she were closer...and I better..

The one on the other side of the world is yet another gem. She and I have been friends thru thick and thin..again, on the other side of the world. I think of her a LOT and wonder what it would take to get her to the `States...and scared to death that it may not work out afterward.

..but things are changing..I had withdrawn from blogging and tested the local waters with as much discouragement. I have connected with my neighbors and we have become close, something J would never stand for...I am doing more for the boys now, despite the stretching of their own wings....I keep myself busy, both in the job AND in the business...I am active in the church but not nearly as I once was...I've been able to get work done on the cars, the Alfa is painted and with fresh engine, just needs<b> suspension </font></b>and tires...and I've reconnected with friends from the past. The expression in Blogland was a missed avenue...

....there are some really good people in here. Love all you guys. Sorry I was such a pinhead during and after J, but she hated any additional connections, especially this community.

So I'll get back to the diaries..the comments.. the emails...the friends all over the world. I can be celebate and keep things on an even keel simply to live an easier, stress-free life.

...and who knows? Maybe I'll be able to stop in and see some of you..
