September 28, 2007 - March 17, 2007... that is a LOT of days with no updates. Please accept my apologies along with this summary of events to rush you all to the present happenings in my life.

I've asked her (a few times) if she will marry me. Of those three, one answer was not a direct negative; but before you get excited please know that no answer was given at all, as the phone rang or some other work related urgency interrupted, and therefore I was abruptly forgotten and invisible yet again.

She is back on the east coast, working. Always working. I have since ceased communications and mailed a letter explaining that it is painfully obvious (which is not exactly news but at least now I am accepting the truth) that we are not even in the same bookstore when it comes to being on the same page of any chapter in any given book.

As far as all of that "if you love something set it free" horse shit - she has not come back. Therefore I am resigned to my former existence, working, caring for what family and friends I do have, and trying to stay healthy despite my blue mood.

Don't worry about me though, I've been through things like this before and I have come out of them a better person. I have complete faith that this will have the same result.

I hope the new year, now well into the beginning of the 2nd quarter, is treating you well, and I hope to bring you more news from this flip side of me in the near future.
