It's warm and sunny today. I've had the air-conditioner on a couple of times, as early as late last month but today I have not yet decided to turn on so much as the fan in my room. Part of that decision rests upon being reluctant to disturb my cat, Kuu, who is napping next to me on the bed here and is apparently dreaming, given the frequency of ( Read more... )

I ran across this article from a link on my ISP's home page. It's called Why I Love Dating In My 50's.. Basically, the itemized list boils down to this:

1. The "biological clock" is not an issue.
2. Older generally means more experienced at life, romance, and sex.
3. The media smiles on older men. (How this relates to ME I don't know...)
4. Women become more ( Read more... )

Spring is here. The mornings are still starting out cloudy and overcast but the clouds, for the most part are either burning off or else lingering as white cumulus clouds in a clear blue sky by afternoon. It's good to see, especially considering that the Eastern U.S. got a full dumping of snow within this month. If I felt in no other way fortunate ( Read more... )

I was talking with a friend of mine this evening. Talking to her is always good, and it feels nice, but chatting with her makes me want things. It makes me want things that I really don't want enough to make a serious effort to have. Stuff gets stirred up. I get to missing things I used to have. It throws me out of my center ( Read more... )

It never rains but that it pours. Complications. Complications. I would rhetorically ask why there are complications but I know the answer perfectly well. There are complications because we fail to see or refuse to see, or even erroneously discount, the consequences of our choices. The sticky thing for me is that it is hard sometimes to ( Read more... )

I've written to someone on OkStupid again, and she wrote back. I walked away from that silly site a couple of months ago and told myself that whatever good that place could be for some people it just wasn't really my thing. About a week or so ago though, I got to chatting with an on line friend about dating and companionship and being married and ( Read more... )

I was reading a web site just awhile ago called MidlifeBachelor.com. It's one of those serendipitously tripped-over web sites that one encounters, usually while searching or browsing on a related topic, that just sort of sucks one into it, like informational quicksand. The guy who does at least some of the writing there is funny and not without a ( Read more... )

There's been a lot of various junk on my mind lately. I've been thinking about sex and people's attitudes and beliefs on the subject. I've come to the conclusion that most people, if not all of us, do not know of what they are speaking when they discuss their personal opinion or philosophy on the topic. It never fails ( Read more... )

I played hooky from writing to Michelle over on OkStupid for some time this evening, after playing hooky from writing her all weekend. I can make conversation but I just didn't know where I was going with this note. People have such definite ideas about what they want out of a site like OkStupid, but I don't. To me, dating is about the people, ( Read more... )

Observations and Quotations
I noticed something Friday morning, when I got to work. I'm one of the few people where I work who backs into the parking space. Most people pull in nose-first and back out. I back in and drive straight out when I leave like only two or three others in the lot. I never thought about why or even noticed that I was in a ( Read more... )
