L’Chaim!

   Itâd been about 6 years since last I had seen her. Iâm using the
   past-imperfect tense, and that would have been a pretty decent summary
   of our relationship several months ago. Ah, but for [1]Myspace it
   might have stayed that way...

   She found me and asked when I had become pagan. I replied that this
   event had taken place before she and I began dating. We started
   sending messages back and forth, getting a more complete picture of
   one another. That night we talked for over 4 hours...

   We hadnât talked much during the year we dated. Just, you know;
   hormonal things. She didnât like showing off her brain, I was
   incapable of letting her show it. I was incapable of a lot of normal,
   healthy things...

   My boss informed me that I needed to take a vacation. She didnât give
   me a choice, just said I had to take it before the end of July. I
   called the young woman in question. It wasnât until after I made the
   call and set up the (date?) meeting that I got nervous...

   We didnât talk much during the run-up to that meeting (date?). I
   wasnât sure how to behave, how I would react. I didnât know her
   feelings. I did know that every time I got a message from her, my face
   lit up. Thatâs not something I wanted to examine closely...

   So the (date?) event rolled around. Gods! Seeing her again rocked me.
   Iâd allowed myself to let this great woman escape from my life without
   protest. Schmuck...

   We had a good time that night, and others. Catching up, talking.
   Barely touching. I think we had to prove to one another that our
   attraction was more than physical. Any other two people and this
   wouldnât be an issue. Any other two people would just _know_. But, she
   and I have been down this road before. We can have fantastic passion;
   letting passion be the master means losing access to her mind...

   Am I smitten, oh yes. Dear reader Iâll treat you to a bit of Sunday
   evening. We had just finished watching Dare Devil. Flipping through
   channels, Iâd noticed C-Span. âturn it back,â I asked and she did. We
   watched a bit of the DLC convention on a new democratic platform. She
   seemed into it. Iâm a junkie...

   Hillary was the next speaker. She stated that she hopes Hillary will
   run. I voiced my opinion on that, we settled in to watch. When Senator
   Clinton uttered the line âWe need to find 21st century solutions to
   21st century problemsâ, we groaned in unison. That may have been the
   single hottest experience of my life...

   I donât know what will happen tomorrow. I donât know what will have
   happened by the time you will have read this. I can say that the last
   sentence was in Future-Perfect. I know better than that. But things
   are looking good...
