women
I'm not going to say something male and dramatic like I don't understand women. Because that's not necessarily true. I have a lot of women friends, and we get along splendidly. What I don't understand are relationship dynamics.
I've just never been particularly good at maintaining relationships. There's a lot of evidence of that. My wife, any number of girlfriends can attest to it. A friend of mine told me I was having a hard time with Melanie because it was the first adult relationship with a woman I've had. And he's right.
I really want this to work. I wonder if I'm really capable of it. Well, I'll try my best. That's all I can do right?
On a positive note, I went to the D-Backs game last night. Bad game for them. Russ Ortiz needs to learn to throw a first pitch strike now and then. And mixing in a fastball or two wouldn't hurt. What was nice were the seats. One of the judges gave me his season ticket seat. About fifteen rows off the third base line. Awesome. I still have a hard time getting used to perks like this. It just feels like a dream.
The company was great too. I sat next to Larry Hammond who besides being a legendary lawyer around here, is a super great guy. No one gives more of himself than Larry. He was very nice to me. Having a man like that treat you like a peer is heady and disorienting at the same time. How the hell did I end up here?
Huh.
