I'm spoken for

Believe it or not, the happiest moment I've had in the last few weeks isn't seeing Carolina whip up on Michigan State last night.  Nope, I'm in a relationship with so far the most wonderful gal I've ever met.

Her name's Dora, and she lives in Arkansas.  She's a former massage therapist training to be a teacher.  She's just about the sweetest gal I've had the pleasure of meeting.  We've been friends since 2002, but started talking again in late 2008, not long after her marriage tanked with a guy who was a male version of Jamie.

It's hard to put into words what I feel for her--and that's saying something coming from someone who's a writer and journalist by training.  She's a writer as well--she's written a lot of poetry.  It's one of many reasons that we get along so well.  One other is that she's a big-time sports fan--specifically, the Razorbacks.  Now it looks like I have to learn how to properly call the Hogs.

For those who are reading this and getting nervous about what happened last time, I'm playing it slow.  We both are ... even though we're both crazy about each other right now.
