Introducing...
Alright folks... I’m back and with a little encouragement from kpinyork and Ashley I am ready to blog again. In fact I think I am going to try to blog at least every other day this month. I really need to be working my creative writing muscles which have been very underused recently. There is much to talk about, including murder mysteries and teaching English as a second langauge. But first I think I should introduce you to my primary distraction of the past couple of months. He will henceforth be known as... Gilbert! (Yes, that is a not so veiled homage to Anne Shirley’s “Gilbert.”)
Gilbert and I met on eHarmony in the middle of September. We had our first lunch together on a Saturday in the middle of October and have been virtually inseparable since. I say virtually because he has a job and lives in Lexington. Considering those slight inconveniences we manage to see a lot of each other. He proved his bravery by joining us at the Family Thanksgiving Reunion this past week. I would like to say that I have been able to prove my own courage in some comparable manner but I can’t think of anything I have done that comes close to that level of dedication.
I have a feeling that Gilbert will be around as a character in this blog for a long time to come and I have to say that makes me very happy.
