Hi Friends:

Well there are two men that are single and interesting and fit the minimum 6 foot requirement and make me laugh....and if I bend an R (avoidance) rule - which I can relax if I think of them as friends instead of potential R's - that I can develop friendships with...

There is the Frenchman (deep breathe - just b/c I develop a friendship does not mean I am commited to being in an R!!!)... He is interesting and makes me laugh. And somewhat "safe" b/c he lives in CA. And well I did find him attractive at one time when I was at The Resort over a year ago... He is the last man that I kissed.

And there is this really nice guy from this trip. He is not legally D - but we are talking friendship here. He lives in Connecticut - so he is somewhat "safe." He has been very decent to his stbxw - did not speak of her with anger - seemed to have sense of peace. He gave me a kiss on the cheek on night and was not pushy. I have his card. No real chemistry - but I suppose it is possible to develop - he is just a really sweet guy.

Okay - in my brain we are going to stick to the word FRIENDSHIP and nix the word MALE GIRLFRIEND - hereinafter that is reserved for men that are in R's. That is a step for me!

I left a VM for a woman I went to high school with. I went to HS in New Jersey. She is a doctor now. It is our 25th high school reunion. She called back and left a message yesterday and mentioned the reunion. I only went to that HS for 2 years - it would be fun seeing her again. We use to be good friends and then lost touch after we went away to college. That is in early November. The October seminar is probably on the chopping block... Catching up with old friends from my past is certainly taking me around the country!

Okay back to typing tedious invoices... Just paid my quarterly taxes. So unless I plan on moving to Montana and joining those militia people that don't pay taxes - I am going to have to do the paperwork to get paid.

Life is a little less angst-ridden than last night with respect to The Block. Humongo Client angst levels are very high - but being contained - it is taking a lot of energy to maintain my equilibrium in The Turbulence. That being said - I know what I need to do - it is just tough doing it...

All in all life is good! Just the normal ups and downs of a normally abnormal personality!

take care,
AG
