"Just be thankful for what you got"

In the words of that old soul song ...
Carol, it turns out, is probably - not to be too dramatic - my
soul mate.
I know what you're thinking
"soulmate" eyes rolling.
But it's not like that -
for one thing
if we lived together, we'd probably be miserable.
Yes, I love her
and she loves me
but we are now involved in other relationships -
perhaps stupidly
or not.
We still speak frequently, although not as much
and we still find fulfillment in one another -
but no longer in a 'traditional' relationship
we've both changed somewhat -
my primary focus is on my business
and hers seems to be trying to overlook those things
in her relationship that are a repeat of her past.

Each day, I hope the very best for her
and I miss her - just that much more
but - perhaps it's true
that
"with distance, the heartgrowsfonder".

All Good Things Must Pass

A fool holds a ball in his hand and states, that he has never seen, nor held a ball in his life; deepening his delusion, the more he asserts - the more he believes. When he believes strongly enough - will the ball finally disappear?

Carol Anne Galsworthy being patient with the photographer. Leah was in Turkey, and we were on our way to meet friends (Lucy and Anthony) before going to the concert!

London July 2, on the way to Live8. The city was electrified! 

This was taken back in September, but, since this blog is dedicated to her, I thought that another picture of Carol would be appropiate! 

As the day drew to a close, I couldn't help thinking about Carol - the only thing that could have added to this view, would have been her seeing it with me. Hearts grow fonder. 

The sound of the breaking waves was thunderous, relentless, and strangely - comforting.

Conditions perfect - about 72 degrees, wind from the south - about 8 mph! Good friends, good drink, and well - look at the picture! 

Thinking of the folks that live in the Midwest, who are still snowed in, from what I hear... 

A sunny spring day at McClure's beach, in Northern California 

hmmmm.... well as it turns out there were no photos (that turned out viewable, anyway!).All that I had was my Motorola v400 camera phone, and the lighting wasn't ... well you get the picture - or not - as it were.  

Well, today's my birthday; the first thing I had to do today, was to pay a DMV fine (non-moving violation) in the amount of $634.00! After dealing with that, it's time for something different - meet up with some friends at a local micro-brewery!! Photos may follow!
