hey kid . . .

Hahh...! I'm glad that things are looking good for you in that department. What a fun lyrical submission.

Thank you. Probably one of the better things said about my writings.

Ah, Zimmerman... honestly, I think he should have just stayed in the car. A lesson I learned myself recently.

A "Croque-Monsieur?" Damn, those French are always one step ahead of me. Here I thought it was something I came up with.

I'm not so sure that I'm staying anymore, though it was considerably reassuring to know that I will be missed. Thank you.

Good luck with both the play and your student teaching(not that you'll need it in either case )!

Ohai!

Thanks! It's going very well so far. Took my first load down last night. The neighborhood is fantastic, and the house is great.

There's a first time for everything!

Lies.

I find keeping them all the same color helps camouflage the encroaching crazy-cat-person-ness

I'm sorry to hear that.

but

remember,

I like to have a little interest in something my partner is interested in. This way, when they get excited about something related to it, I can have a minimum understanding of why they are excited - or at least not be bored out of my mind when it comes to talking about/doing it. Do I get sucked in to it? Occasionally.

I'm tired of hiding my flaws. I find it's far too destructive to me when they come out later.

You have a lot of the same flaws and insecurities as my wife. The more I know about you the more I think about that. We both hate to be wrong but she is more apt to be right. She hid a lot of her flaws from me for a long time partially because she was worried I might skate if I knew and partially because I wouldn't have let it in any way because I was blinded by new love. People say that love is blind but really new love is blind. Old love sees it all and sticks around in spite of everything. If you are concerned with a lack of diversity in your interests then what is so unnerving about adopting some new interests you could share with someone. Over time I think the wife and I have adopted some of each others interest which is good because we spend a shitload of time together but there are still plenty of interest we don't share which we partake in when we are apart. Sometimes we suffer through some things for each other. That is part of being in a relationship. Adjustments and compromises are how its done. While it I good to see the gray area in the big picture you have to let yourself have some personal gray areas. There is very little in the world that is truly black and white even if you are right. Haha. I on the other hand prefer to wear my flaws right out in the open and you can take me on leave me. I only start adjusting me for someone when I get to know them and care what they think. That is probably not any more healthy an attitude to have.

I guess you are a little more work now but well worth the effort.

Pineapples are fun to open up because of the challenges!
