2:20 am	Way too long this time Its been almost a year since I last posted. But not too much has changed. Well, that isnt exactly the case. But I don't feel like telling it all right now. "E" is still an big part of my life. We are still not much further ahead from where we were a year ago. I dont really know what she is up to. We went out to celebrate her birthday last week. She arranged a large gathering of people. During the course of the night she got hammered. The night ended with her holding my hand when ever possible and kissing me when she could. Add to that massive hugs. We have always hugged alot but that night was differant. Then as I was leaving to go to a job site she had to tell me she loved me repeatedly. With repeated emphasis on the word love. She had to add that she wasnt saying it because she was drunk. Someone once told me that a drunken mans words are a sober mans thoughts. I hope that is true.

4:42 pm	long time again Its been awhile. Well, not much has changed. Work is very busy. Thats always a good thing. The girl situation in my life is still there. Also a good thing. But also a bad thing. While "E" and I still have not even held hands as we talked about, we talk constantly and still find ways to hang out. She came up with the idea of helping me on weekends. I like that alot. This is in addition to the time we spend together in work related situations. But part of the problem is that some people are connecting us with each other. When one of us is somewhere without the other, we get asked where the other is. I was on the phone with her while at a job site. A friend at the job saw me and as he passed he said hi to me then louder said hi to her over the phone. He assumed (correctly) that I was on the phone with her. She is all I think about. I am still with Rene. She is still with her guy. But when we talk she says things about pipe dreams of us buying a house together. Hey guy is out of town in a week or so. She called to say she wanted us to go to a club to listen to a jazz guy she likes. This is a first. (Comment on this)

8:39 pm	First let me thank all of you who responded to my original post. Your gentle and honest answers helped me in many more ways than I could have ever expected. Of course some of your answers raised even more questions for me. But those only I can answer. As for the young lady I had told you all about. Well, she called me while she was driving home from work. That was a first. With the exception of the social event mentioned earlier, we had not talked beyond the workplace. We talked on the phone for the 45 minutes it took her to drive home. During that time, I took and acted on some of the advice you guys gave me. She had mentioned making plans to attend business trade luncheons that she knew I was attending. As well as finding ways the two of us could find ourselves in the same place. Then I popped the question. "What is it that we are doing here?" She asked what I meant. I said "it would appear to some that we are finding excuses just to be with each other." Yeah? she said. "So I ask you, why are we trying to find ways to hang out with each other?" "Because I like being with you" She said. "Wow, Thanks kid," I said, "I like being with you too" "we do have a lot in common, there's no way around that," "yes we do. I am confortable with you." She said. "So" I asked, "if given the chance, you would consider exploring an "us" thing?" "Yes" she said. "Well, what do we do now?" I asked. Long and short of it. Both of us are in relationships elsewhere. Both of us are calling areas of our respective relationships into question. Not because of what we see in each other but things that have been allowed to fester. So, we agreed to see each other. Not on dates or intimate social events. But rather on a business/friend level. Lunches, coffee, client meetings you know, safe places. Safe surroundings. Safe from each other. For now or forever. It depends on what we find in our own personal searches. I asked about the age differance and reminded her of my kids and grandkid. She didn't really care about that. She had a feeling I had never ever really acted my age for most of my life anyway and felt I wasn't about to change anytime soon. Then she gave me the ultimate Groucho Marx or George Burns line. "your only as old as the women you feel." With that in mind, if the cards play out, I may be turning 26 one day. But until then, I have issues here in my life away from her that need attending to. As does she. If nothing else, we may become sounding boards for each other. But the important thing is to be above board and not let the other get in the way of what needs to be figured out. Does that make sense? So, you all were right. She is interested. Very interested. But like me, cautious. But now its out, between us anyway. We each have the same interest in the other. Woo Hoo. But from here we tread lightly. But we tread. Ain't it cool? Stay tuned. (Comment on this)

9:23 pm	OK. More on the young woman. I have no idea what to make of this. Maybe its nothing,maybe not. I have to admit that it might be a fun thing to persue if it is. I just don't know. I am confused by this. I thought maybe it was just me being an older guy near an attractive young woman. But she says things. Yesterday I was on the phone with one of her co-workers and heard the co-worker tell someone she was talking to me. Then I am told that the girl in question says "hi". Thats never happened before. Never. Another incident yesterday. Me and her were talking about an event she was working on. She suggested that I contact her client and offer my services in exchange for free tickets to the event for us. I asked her if us meant the her and the girls in the office. She said no. She meant her and me. Seriously, I am very confused. I may be being hit in the head with the obvious answers but I am afraid to step forward out of fear of being wrong. I would hate to damage a very good friendship. IF anyone ever reads this journal, please help. I joined another journal for relationships with huge age differances like this. Maybe the answer is there. More later. (Comment on this)
2:54 pm	Confused, very confused If anyone ever reads this, I need help!! A young girl seems to be showing interest in me. By young I mean 24 years younger. Young. She's 26, I'm 50. I have sweaters older than she is. Maybe I am seeing things wrong. I have no idea. I have known this girl for about a year. She works for client of mine so we talk often. We have always had a friendly work relationship. Lately, she seems to be getting more friendly. At least I think she is. Somebody plese tell me. Heres one scenerio: We both have a meeting with a mutual client at the same time. I am called by her to make sure I will be there and would it be OK if we had coffee after. We had coffee and nothing much happened. Actually, nothing at all. Scenerio two: An important social event was occuring for her boss. I was invited along with Rene. Rene could not attend as whe would be out of town. This girl called on behalf her boss(kinda)to see if I was attending. You see normally someone else in the company would have called. But she did. I told her I would be going. She asked if my "girlfriend" would be going. She knows Rene's name well. But she called her "girlfriend". When I told her no she got a little frustrated and said had she known I would be alone, she would not have invited her boyfriend. (things that make you go hmmm) I just filed that away. But awhile later she and I are on the phone and she tells me she is now going to this event alone as her boyfriend is no longer going. (hmmmm) Yet another phone call I am informed in a whisper so nobody on her end can hear, that she arranged for us to sit together at this event. Why whisper if this is an innocent arrangement? Naturally, I am intriqued. And confused. She talks about getting me to drink with her and maybe leaving early to go out somewhere else. Fortunatly, I had to work after the event and could not see what she had in mind. I like this girl, I always have. Age differance aside we get along great. But on a business level. I have never promoted anything more than that. I have Rene. I'm real confused. Am I seeing something that isn't there? Or is? There's more to this story but I will have to fill it in later.

12:30 pm	Monday Its Monday again. Another chance to make things right for the upcoming week. On the non-work side. I received a letter the other day from a girl I used to live near about 10 years ago. Since I had moved a couple of times since I last talk to her, her letter was basically trying to see if it was me at this address. It was She gave her email address to respond to. So I did. A brief history here. She and I go way back. Where we lived there was a single house between her house and mine. She was younger than me and married. I was married at the time too. She and her husband and me and my wife would go out occsionally and drink heavily. Sometimes she and my wife and me would go out. Either way there was a lot of drinking. One night the four of us were out. She was wearing a short jeans skirt and a button blouse. My wife and her husband had gone to the bathroom leaving she and I alone. I made small talk and pretended to try and look up her skirt as she sat. Without warning she pulled her blouse top away from her neck allowing me to sort of look down her blouse. Perhaps thats where my fasination with looking down girls blouses came from. I never expected her to do that. I had hope she would but never expected it when she did. Honestly, I really wished she had let me see up her skirt. Oh well, take what you can get. We all went home and as we rode with them, we had to walk the 50 feet from their house to mine. Before leaving he asked me of I wanted to play some pool in his basement. My wife suggested I stay and play pool. She was tired and wanted to go home. He and I played pool alone and drank for a couple of hours. She was nowhere near us. But later he went upstairs and she came down. Dressed in shorts and a cut-off tee shirt. She said she wanted to shoot a little pool too. So right in front of me she bent over the table to shoot. Her bend had to have been planned as I could see directly up her shirt as she bent over. She had lost the bra and I could very easily see the bottom of her boobs. Nothing happened. I just watched. But that started a long series of teasing that evenually led to us hooking up a number of times. Her marriage was not great and neither was mine. No excuse for cheating but at the time, cheat we did. And often. Saturdays she would come to my front door in the middle of the day while my wife was at work and we would have sex right there on the floor in the living room. We never made it into any other room. Occasionally I would be in my back yard from which I could see her backyard. She would come out of her house and flash me. She would take her top off right there in her back yard so I could see her from mine. You have to be in the neighborhood to see just how close all the other houses were to each other. She had balls. (figuratively) She did have great boobs too. Huge boobs that didn't sag all that much even though she had a small child. Plus she loved oral sex. Loved it alot. I always admired that in any woman. Anyway, I must have had some impact on her. After ten years she came looking for me. She lives in San Fransisco now and there is absolutely no way we can ever hook up but her contacting me sure brought back some memories. Good memories. She would never be considered for any Mensa society but her heart was good and she was kind and gentle. Yeah we cheated on our respective spouses together and that was wrong but I did enjoy her company. It was nice to hear from her after all these years. She sent me a phone pic of what she looks like now. Still very pretty. Maybe more on this later. (Comment on this)

5:22 pm	friday So its friday. Another weekend looms ahead. I wish I could look forward to the weekends like everyone else does. But weekends are when I do the most work. Its also when I make the most money. But as for taking time to have fun and let loose. Not on the weekends. Rene and I could both use some good old fashioned decadant behavior but we are both so busy with our work that it looks like it may not happen until December. But then, it too damn cold. Trust me, its really not that much fun to get drunk and run around naked outside in December if you live in Pittsburgh. The cold has a very bad effect on a mans parts. So I live through others who are able to have lives on the weekend. Oh so sad. Maybe this weekend I'll win the powerball and say screw it all. Don't see that happening either. I ran into an old girlfriend today. She made some mention a while ago about trying to get back together. I had to politely tell her no. I am where I am supposed to be. But seeing her today was odd. I forgot how much she can whine. And whine. And whine. Oh well, she had GREAT boobs. Well she still has great boobs but I'm no longer allowed to touch them. At least while she was whining, I got a longer time to look at her boobs. Then it dawned on me. I toterated her whining because of her boobs. Our whole relationship then was based on her boobs. Well there was also her propensity for public sex. Ya gotta love public sex. But then, after the sex came the whining again. Whew, I miss the boobs but not the girl they were attached to. Wow, that was odd, While I was typing the previous stuff, the old girlfriend called my cel. DU DU DU DOO, DU DU DU DOO. Very strange. Oh well, off to the rest of the day. (Comment on this)

10:02 am	Hey Strange times lately. With Mom's death life is differant. I can't put a finger on it but it has changed somewhat. I live about three hours away from the rest of my family. That means that life here sometimes keeps me out of contact. You would think that might ease the odd feeling. It doesn't. I have been getting sympathy cards in the mail. One came from a past employeer. That was a real nice surprise. I have been too busy here to mourn. Maybe thats the best. I have a way of focusing an a particular issue to the point of distraction from other issues. Maybe work is the distraction I need. Who the hell knows. (Comment on this)

11:04 am	Another long time between posts. I really should try and keep up with this thing. I try and keep up with other peoples journals, but not mine. I lost my mom on sunday. Sort of expected, sort of not. My dad had been the center of attention regarding health concerns of late. Our fear was that he might pass at one time or another during the past year. But Mom beat him to it. I'm not really sure yet how I feel. Naturally, I'm sad. But beyond that, I am kind of numb about it. Maybe thats natural. My brothers and I were with her at the end. Not an experience I would want to repeat. I mean I was willing to be there. But I now take with me the vision of her last breath. She passed in the hospital. There were tubes, needles and machines beeping around her. When the time came to let her go, each was unceremoniously turned off. The only one left running was the one that monitored her heart and breathing. During the process I looked around the room at everyone. Their attention as focused on the machine as it counted down her heart beat. I wanted to tell them all that Mom should be the focus, not the machine. But I stayed quiet as I found myself also watching the monitor. I guess there exists no protocal for times like this. We are driven by other needs. Rene went with me. She waited in the hallway directing late family members as they got off the elevator. My nephew told me later he had found her quietly crying alone. Poor thing. My family loves her very much. She is good to the core. My mother once told her that my grandmother would have loved her. Without going into a long explanation, just know that was a HUGE compliment. My family has always been pretty tight. When we get together all we do is laugh and enjoy each others company. I have heard from other people that when they are involved in family functions they are ready to leave upon their arrival. Not here. We all have trouble saying good-bye to each other. So sunday was no differant. We had trouble saying good-bye. My dad is lost. His best friend is gone. We all search for the right words. But we know those words don't exist. The only word that helps is time. maybe more later. (Comment on this)

11:22 am	Odd day Today is odd at best. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. There is a better than average chance that it will be something good. But you never know. My dad is going under the knife again today. I can't be there and its wearing on me. He's 82 and there is always a chance he may not pull through. The docs say its a standard surgery but there is always risk. My brothers are with him today. I live too far away. That sucks. I'll be there tomorrow. I have a job in Maryland next week that I have to be ready for. I need today to get ready or I will loose the oppurtunity and be behind schedule when I arrive on the job site. Money is on my mind today. As if there will be some headed my way from an unexpected source. That would be nice. Found money is always fun. Rene and me could use some play money. We can always find trouble with found money. Oh well, back to work. Too much to do to spend time writing down my thoughts. (Comment on this)

1:03 pm	blah day I have a major toothache. I have an appointment later for a root canal. Oh joy. Today is sorta slow. Just getting ready for a job tommorow. I do need to get things together for a much larger job next week. This one is a biggie. It could repeat 4 more times this year. The four alone would mean about $20,000 for the year. Add that to the other jobs I have going and I should end up with a 200,000 plus year. Thank you Mr. President. Ya gotta love tax breaks. They make the money people believe that its safe to spend. When they spend, I benefit. Its good to be a republican. Anyway. lets see what else is going on. I have a party to go to tonight. I'll behave. I have to since I don't really drink all that much. Its always more fun to watch the other people get drunk. Besides, its St. Patricks day AKA "amatuer night" Had a nice thrill today. A girl I had been admiring online for awhile finally showed herself. I had always though she was beautiful but OMG!! she turns out to be perfect!! Just f'n perfect. I hope she continues. I doubt she will though. But it was an incredibly nice thing to see today of all days. I need to get back to work. A little more to do today before I get drilled. I can't wait. (sarcasm) Beyond all that, its a slow day. Thank heavan for the online girl for giving me a nice mental image to carry around for the day. Perfect just perfect. I forgot, I bought a new car. Truck really. Chevy Tahoe. Its nice. I needed to replace the Bronco as it was dying a slow death. This new one is very nice. I feel bad for what I am going to do to it. I am hard on cars I am sure this one will be no exception. Anyway, back to work. (Comment on this)

10:18 am	Eff'n cold. I hate winter. I really hate it in March. I know, I know, spring is 3 weeks away. Its the wait that is aggravating. I hate being cold. Rene looks real nice in warm weather clothing. This bundled up shit has to stop soon. We might be headed to Hilton Head again next week. I could use the break if only for a few days. This contractor we hired down there is sort of goofy. Real nice guy but just sort of goofy. We have to go down there just to make sure he is doing what he says he is doing. Contractors drive me nuts. They get you by the short and curlies. You need to have them because you can't do the work yourself. But they take advantage of you either in price, quality or work ethic. Or all the above. This guy looks like the work ethic kind of guy. I have a feeling when he is done it will be a good job. Its just getting him to concentrate on this job. For God's sake, all he is doing is two bathrooms. Two cabinets, two toilets. two tub surrounds. No major plumbing, new floor tile and paint. Thats it. I did similar work here and it took me a weekend. This guys been on the job for six weeks. Thats bullshit. Its time to go down and see what's going on. I don't mind the drive, I don't mind the venue. I do mind that I am on the verge of my own busy season and I shouldn't be taking the time off just to look over this guys shoulder. I could make a business stop in N.Carolina on the way. If succesful, I might make the trip profitable. I have to buy a new truck soon. Mine needs the dreaded Pennsylvania inspection this month and I have a feeling that since I am a cheap SOB the inspection will cost me alot in repairs. I really should take better care of my truck but since I buy them for the purpose of abusing them I never give them a whole lot of thought. This one has served me well. I bought it used with low milage and in the past 4 years I have put 175,000 miles on it. I think its time for it to be retired. Since I abuse them I will never buy a new one. Not to mention the fact that I have a real problem spending 40 or 50 thousand dollars on anything that doesn't have a basement. I told you, I am a cheap SOB. So the search begins. I hate buying cars or trucks. I love cars and trucks I just hate buying them. I hate dealing with car sales people. They are never as smart as I am and I get frustrated having to sink to their level. I usually end up walking out of a number of sales just becasue the sales person is an idiot and doesn't listen to me. I love dealing with women car sales people. They get it. They are listeners. I think it's a gene thing. I don't like the game of wheeling and dealing. I would happily pay full price for something than have to haggle over price. If your going to sell it at the reduced price I worked you down to than why didn't you start at that price and save me all the bullshit. I hate car sales people. So this looks like its going to be a frustrating week. Contractors and car sales people. Oh joy. (Comment on this)

6:39 pm	Another boring day I still hate febuary but its almost over. Business is really picking up. Good because I could use the money. I have a ton of work to do this weekend and then I get a week downtime before all hell breaks out. So Rene decided that we are going back to Hilton Head through the first week of March because with my schedule that looks like the only time we can make it. (Comment on this)

11:09 am	Boring boring boring I hate Febuary. Nothing happens in Febuary. Nothing at all. It's colder than a witches tit and all I want to do is either move or sleep. I think I have another visit to Hilton Head coming up soon but I am not sure. That would be nice. If for no other reason than a change of scenery. Oh well, back to work. Have to try and get more business in here. In as much as I am all about money, working is a good way to get it. Since someone in Nebraska won the lottery, I have to keep working. Nebraska! Theres nothing in Nebraska! There's plenty here in the burgh, I could have done much better with that money than anyone in Nebraska. Sometimes fate doesn't make much sense. (Comment on this)

10:36 am	Monday Well, the Steelers won. OK now what? I have this "yeah big deal" attitude about it. The party we went to sucked. Big time. Really big time. The alternative party we didn't go to would have been so much better. Of well, maybe next year. (Comment on this)

11:37 am	Suoer Bowl day Finally, its Super Bowl Sunday. I am going to miss all the hype, sort of. We are cooking today to take a bunch of food to a party. I can't help but wonder if we were invited to the party becasue we cook so much. You would think the host would supply the bulk of the food and not us. I shouldn't complain. Yeah I should. This guy went so far as to call and ask how many dishes we were bringing. He wanted to approve our menu. Now thats balls. Oh well, I'll be with Rene, that makes almost anything worthwhile. Except maybe bamboo stirps under my fingernails. Beyond that, anything I do with her is enjoyable. Dad remains in the hosptial. Still having trouble finding the balance with his meds. He was supposed to come home on wednesday. It now looks like it might be tommorow or tuesday. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have a small job to do this morning yet and then I am off for the day. Woo hoo. They are saying that the police will be out in full force today because if the Steelers win, this town will be nuts for the next three days. Some companies are planning to close on Monday because they are expecting a high absentee rate. I won't be drinking tonight as I have to drive. Pittsburgh police are about the meanest police in the country. Which would account for our very low crime rate. I mean really criminals have been known to die on the ride from the crime scene to the headquarters. One guy "hung himself" with his own belt in the back of a paddy wagon. Even though his hands were cuffed behind his back, he managed to hang himself during a three block drive. Yeah, I don't beleive it either. Oh well, No drinking for me. That means drinking for Rene. Which means potential trouble for me. I can't wait. I am taking my camera. (Comment on this)

10:00 am	Saturday Morning I have a couple of job sites to be on today and that about it. The day should be over around 2:30. Then, I haveno idea what I am going to do. Rene wants to cook for the Super Bowl party we are attending. So I guess we'll be doing that. I love the Super Bowl. Not so much for the football but for the commercials. I love good commercials. This year though its a little differant with the Steelers in the game. As a Pittsburgher, its going to be fun to watch. I can't wait to see what this town is like Monday after the win. I am a little distracted though. My dad isn't well. He had surgery this week and should have been sent home the next day. Well its been four days and he is still in the hospital. He's is by no means a young man. (82) The drugs they have him on are taking a toll on him. The docs say its a normal reaction but come on already, they initially wanted to send him home the next day. A normal reaction would have allowed that. Me an my brothers are pretty concerned. It's hard as I live in Pittsburgh and he is in Cleveland. I don't get home much and when I do I see him age faster than my brothers who live there do. They watch a gradual change, I see a dramatic change. In this past year he's gotten old. Very old. This man was so vital and alive all of his life. Even two years ago he was hard to stop. Now he is hard to start. I know it's the cycle of life. I'm just not ready to face the inevidable. And in light of this weeks events, it seems the inevidable may be closer than we thought. I am one of seven children, six of us boys. He was a doctor for 50 years which gave me the chance to see him through the eyes of other people. The view always made me proud of him. Sure there were times when someone would tell me how great his was and I would think "oh sure, you don't live with him". But I was a teen then and deserved whatever i got at the time. As I got older my brothers and I in our time found that we had another brother in him. He moved from father to friend to all of us. I think he like that position best of all. I know we did. He likes Rene alot too. He's glad I finally have a girl of class. (good thing he didn't see her riding topless in the convertable through Orlando. LOL) I don't know how I will behave when his time comes. I don't want to think about it. I just know I will miss him so very much. I am going to be with him on Monday. My brothers are with him through the weekend while I am working. Monday is the first I can get there. On to other topics. Work is picking up. Thank God. I hate the January slowdown. This year has been harder because of exspenses and bad decisions made in the last few months of the year. Usually I have a nest egg to carry me through the end of Febuary. This year the nest egg is dwindling away fast. If anyone ever reads this, online casinos are not good for you. I believe they are fixed. Stupid, stupid, stupid. My fault only. I thought I might be as lucky online as I was in a real casino. Nope not my luck. But I kept trying. Once you find your digging yourself in deeper, stop digging. I'll never get that money back. Huge mistake. So now I have to change directions to make that money back legitimately. I'll figure it out somehow. I just have to focus. Gee, maybe I'll start an online casino. If you can't beat them, join them. Well, its time to get to work. I have to put in about three hours of easy time and get paid 1500.00. Not bad for a Saturday. When I think about it, I do have it pretty easy. During busy times. (march through september) I work about 25 to 30 hours a week and pull in around $15,000 to $25,000 a month. Granted, I have exspenses and not all that money is mine but I get a good share of it. All I have to do now is not get stupid like I did this past year. Of course this past year I also restored my first floor and that cost me $30,000. I helped family out a little. So the casino issue while still really stupid, should'nt have hurt as much as it did had I not had the other exspenses. So this year I don't have major renovations planned for the house so if the income stays the same, I should be better off. Enough rambling, off to work. (Comment on this)

11:46 am	Hump day How appropriate. I chose the name "cheapthrills69" (explained way earlier) and the only thing I can think to call wednesday is "hump day" I might need to rethink my priorities a tad. Nah But here it is Feb 1, 2006. If you live in western PA, you know tommorrow is an important day. Groundhog day. We find out if winter is over soon or if we have more to go. Hopefully, its over soon. The only good thing about cold is the effect it has on nipples. But since its winter, the effect is lost under coats. LOL This year the groundhog has seemed to loose ground to the Steelers. EVERYWHERE there is Steeler stuff. Its a lot of fun to watch. While I am not a hard core Steelers fan, I am having a lot of fun being part of it. I sat in a meeting last week where the topic turned away from business to the Steelers. A couple of guys were talking about the Steelers schedule a couple of years ago. They recalled a "bye" week the Steelers had. A "bye" week is when the team doesn't play during the course of the schedule. I couldn't help but think that here are a bunch of guys who have trouble remembering their wifes birthday or anniversary but they have no trouble remembering when the Steelers did nothing. OK back to work. (Comment on this)

12:25 pm	Go Steelers I guess I should be more wired about the super bowl than I am. I just came back from downtown and it's "Steeler Friday". Everybody is wearing Steelers jerseys or at the very least Steeler colors (balck and gold) I just can't do it. I love football but my team was the original Cleveland Browns. Not the current expansion team, the real Browns. When they left Cleveland, I left football. I used to be a true Browns fan. I went to the pre-season practices and games. I knew the players and drank with some of them. But now, they're gone. To be a Steelers fan still seems to be wrong. For years the Browns/Steelers rivalry was the hottest in the game. I was raised hating the Steelers. Its hard to cheer them on now. As a Pittsburgher (albiet a transplant) I do have a sense of community pride. But I just can't wear the colors. Oh well. I do have plans to be at a Super Bowl party and thats always fun. Rene has already purchased her bottle of rum. Should be an interesting night. (Comment on this)

1:04 pm	Bored It snowed last night again. Sadly thats about the only interesting thing that happened. January is always slow for me. My business drops to almost nothing and I sweat that it may never pick up again. It does pick up but I still sweat. I need to be warm again. I need to be in 70 to 80 degree weather. I need to see half dressed women in public. I need spring. I just found out there is another trip to Hilton Head in my future. Maybe as soon as next month. Mixed emotions there. Hilton Head is nice but it is still Febuary. Nothing is warm in Febuary. My office is closing in on me. Rene came in to visit. That always brightens the place up. Its nice to have a tall gorgeous blonde at my front door. Especially when its her. She announced we have to go to the gym. Is that a subtle way of telling me I am fat? I have a sixpack, I just keep it in a soft sided cooler. Oh well back to work. I have a design in my head I need to put on paper and research for patents. Who knows I might be on to something.
