A Human Pretzel

Arms and legs wrapped around each other, fingers interlaced, your scent and mine mixing making its own unique intoxicating fragance as we slumber.

Slowly waking and feeling your body pressed to mine and the connection that is between us...is bliss.

AutoZone Park

AutoZone has to be one of the coolest Triple A Parks in the country. It is home to the Memphis Redbirds an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Divison where my beloved Chicago Cubs also reside.

I'm going to be there tonight with my sweetheart and her family. She'll be meeting my daughter for the first time and I already know that they'll be thick as thieves as they discuss clothes and make-up and all those girly things :)

Following the game is a fireworks show and I can't wait to sit next the woman who has completely captivated me and watch the sky light up with color and sound. I imagine it will look a lot like the inside of my heart right now.

Life is Good

Just a quick update on life. It's good. In fact, it's damn good. School is almost out for the summer. My daughter is about to get her first car and be even more independent. Bring on sweet 16. It's an exciting time in her life.

And to my amazement and wonder I have met someone that I believe to be my equal. A woman who is full of suprises and never ceases to amaze me with her kindness, generosity and beautiful spirit. Life is full of love and adventure and most of all happiness.

Week 2 - Softball Update

This update is more for me to keep track of the team's progress. Opening week saw a split and a rain-out.

Today the girls gave an awesome effort and the game was a squeaker, but the ball rolled in favor of the visiting team by one point. We have a day off and play again Thursday evening before hitting the road for tournament two.

Counting Sheep

I don't know when it happened exactly but i have inexorably been sleeping less and less at night. Sometimes I sit up and watch TV or surf the internet. Other times I'll pick up a book and thumb through pages I've haphazardly already read trying to find the meaning in the blurred pages.

But often times, I'll cover myself with my bedding deep in the confines of the mattress I inhabit at night and stare at the ceiling wishing that I could mercifully fall asleep by...

Listening to sheep bleat as they hop over a fence rather the focusing on the intensity of your blue eyes as they focus on me and only me...

Counting bottles of beer on the wall rather than remember the kisses we shared whenever we occupied the same space and breath of air together...

Taking deep calming breaths rather than listen to my accelerated heartbeat as it reflected my memories of the night we made love...

No…I’m not counting sheep at night

Sshhh

I just have to whisper..because it's only a few days till opening day

go Cubbies :)

Pint Night

I love Monday evenings. It's the first night of the work week when I can go out with a few friends and have a couple of good brews to relax at the end of the day. :)

Tonight wasn't an exception. I sipped on a few cold draft Newcastles and just mellowed out. It's nice to just let go of the day and enjoy the warming spring air. Now if I could just sleep through the night...
