Not nuts at all. KML and SunFunOne have covered the bases. I am currently engaged to a man who lives almost 4000 miles away. {The long distance goes away in 19 days when I move to be with him!} We have been together for over 4 years now. It can be done and I could do 45 minutes with my eyes closed. I say see what there is to see with this sweetheart. You will never know unless you try. Good luck!

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
