I’m moving this to the ‘I’ve done this’ column for now. My work situation is much improved, and I’m working on projects that I’m psyched about. Amazing, the difference that makes!

I suck. I'm not proud of it.

I guess I was kidding myself when I thought that marriage was an inoculation against future infatuation. I still feel like it ought to be. At least I recognize it for what it is; it ain’t love. I love my wife, my daughter, my dog, our family. But, I’m crushing hard on someone I hardly know and met once. Once! It was electric. Now, I want it to be over. Advice sincerely appreciated.
enjoy Fall 2007 by having one new and fulfilling experience in October, November, and December (read all 3 entries…)
No sense waiting until the last minute...

It’s the last day of November, so I guess I’ll relate my new and fulfilling experience. I visited my best friends over the weekend (out of state, without the family!), and spent the weekend with my pal and his fiancé. She’s really wonderful! And my best friend is marrying her! Getting to know her was very fulfilling, and when she learned I was a wine geek, she broke out a very special bottle she’d been saving for a special occasion. Imagine; meeting me, a special occasion! Very cool. (I’ve now blown my annual budget for exclamation points.)
