Minkerman is done

[minkerman]

Just sitting here at my desk an hour ago and this email came in:
looking forward to dinner tomorrow. what time is dinner and would you like to come by early?

My response:
sure, sounds good...dinner is for 7, i could come over early. i’ll be in touch

I am playing it as cool as possible. I know she is scared and skittish...I'm just her best friend.

Your a pretty good best friend Mink. Look how far you have come since the beginning of this journey. Keep your eye on the prize.

[Broken Tree]

I wish I was where you are! You are playing it great man!

DB MVP for 2008. followed closly by the Fish.

I hope you have a great time Mink!

[minkerman]

Oh no BT....Fish is way ahead of me! He is actually back together with his W.

I have no expectations for this weekend, so that limits my ability to be disappointed.

But thanks, BT. I appreciate the support.

Houndfan is the DB most valuable player for 2008. He has taught me so much.

I am writing this email from the Fish Command Center. W and D are sound asleep. Me, due to GAL I am used to staying up until 4AM on Friday night.

Easing back into home life is a big adjustment, but the wife is loving it. We really have been having a lot of fun. Sex, good wine, good food, tennis, etc.

If you have chemistry with your spouse, keep your marriage together. If not, walk away.

Fish is rocking again!

Adios

[minkerman]

Oh, we have chemistry, baby. Serious chemistry.

That is, I think, what is confusing the @#$% out of her.

[cw68]

What if you have chemistry but H wants to separate the physical from the emotional? If he can do that, does it show that the physical isn't strong enough?

So I'm sitting here at my laptop, enjoying my favourite music and a fresh cup of coffee, looking out the window at my incredible view (20th floor, waterfront)....I am grateful that, despite all of this, I really do have a great life.

*DING* goes my MSN Messenger...it's W's birthday today so I wished her happy BD, she said thanks. She said her girlfriend is taking her out for brunch, so she'll be out for a while.

W: "I'll be out for brunch with J, what are your plans for the day"
MM: "I have a pretty full plate today, just busy"
W: "What time should I be back home?"
MM: "Don't know when I'll be done, so I'll let you know later"
W: "OK"
MM: "anyway, gotta run, say hi to J, talk to you later"
W: "k bye for now"

Tonight I am taking her out for dinner, I have no expectations, I am simply spending time with a girlfriend that I am just getting to know.

Last night was a blast. Went out with a group of 10 people from work...beer, wings, lotsa laughs. Then I went home with one of the guys who is a musician like me, and we jammed in his apartment for about 2 hours. We are both multi-talented, so we took turns playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and singing.

These are the kinds of things I need to start doing more.

Keep it going, Minkerman!

Mink you are on a roll. Keep it up brother!

I have to give the chemistry thing some good thought.

Have fun tonight Brother. Let us know how you do.
