Passages of time.........

Called Mom today and found out my father is in the hospital once again. He fell at a gas station in town and was taken to the ER. They found more cancer in him, this time on his back. Mom is hoping that with PT he can walk again. But I also know that is just delaying the inevitable time when she will no longer be able to have him at home.
The times they are a changing and changing rapidly.

What a life!

I've been doing the singles thing for some time now. Met women who I thought might have could have long term potential. But then I realized that it's not so much me having to sell myself in a feverish attempt to not sleep alone as it is looking for a person who can mesh well with me, who can complement me. Talking to a few, meeting up and spending time with several has been a real education for me, and a nice revelation as well.

I realize that out there there are women looking for a guy like me. Not simply those whose best years are behind them but women who've got a life of love and passion to offer some lucky soul. I recently met a woman with whom I feel the possibility of a deeper connection. I've got no illusions of fairy tales here, no starry-eyed infatuation, but yet she's someone who makes me feel very very good on a number of levels. Spiritually, intellectually, physically we feel a strong pull towards each other. Time will tell what happens in the long term. But it's nice, very very nice with her.
