********
Within the next 12 months, my plan is to
permanently relocate to San Diego County,
...preferably close to U.C. San Diego.
There are those who say that once people
pass a certain age (30, 40,50-- whatever)
that it is impossible to ever re-create...
a relationship that was like the kind
of relationship we created when we
were in our late teens or early twenties—
A relationship that is close, loving, affectionate
expressive,and caring-- where we treasure
each other deeply.
Well, I'm here to testify that that kind of
relationship is exactly the kind of relationship
that I want-
And, believe that I can make happen.
But, as you know, I can’t make that happen
just by myself.
It would take the both of us.
So, if that’s the kind of relationship that
you're also up for…
then I invite you to keep reading:
Would you have loved to have had dinner with
your partner plus Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder?
If so, we're off to a good start.
My ideal relationship:
We're smart but we live in our heart.
We're a couple who feel most alive and
happy when we're emotionally close.
Does this mean that we want
matching ankle tattoos? Nope!
Making one another happy makes
each of us happy.
We have no use for the love of power,
but we thrive on the power of love.
In her values and behavior,
in her way of being in the world—
My ideal mate is her own woman--
A woman who knows
SHE IS A MAN'S EQUAL—
not dominating, not submissive.
Regardless of how successful she
may be in any or all of the other parts
of her life...
My ideal mate is also soft, gentle,
tender, nurturing.
She is comfortable with herself.
Because our mutual trust is strong,
we're not afraid to be vulnerable with
each other.
My mate enjoys exercise and a squeaky
clean body--mine and hers.
She enjoys being, at times, irreverent,
playful, silly, affectionate, sexual.
She has a minimum daily requirement
of at least a dozen hugs and kisses.
She enjoys travel and she enjoys being home.
She may like to garden, and to camp--including
snuggling in a sleeping bag.
She enjoys conversations that span
a range of topics:
History, art, literature, philosophy, politics, music,
psychology, movies, current events, MSNBC, and
anything else of her own that she'd like to contribute.
My mate is creative, original, and, however she
chooses to express her creativity,
I'm her biggest fan...
supportive, appreciative, and admiring.
We offer each other self disclosure and feedback,
honestly, but with empathy and compassion...
Each of us has an "abundance" attitude,
which makes both of us givers, not takers.
She enjoys animals--and doesn't have to be
coaxed to scratch the dog, the cat (or me)
behind the ears.
She enjoys collaborating--Maybe that means
our cooking together, singing, or our writing
a children's book or a screen play...
********
Even though it's not a part of my job,
I'm professionally trained in several
different types of massage...
Even if some part of each day is
spent with each of us working on separate
projects...
we enjoy taking a a break every so often,
and doing something like dancing to Eric Clapton's
"You Look Wonderful Tonight."
The current project that I'm working on
(developing a workshop) is making me feel
like Michelangelo...
who needed about two years to create
his statue of David in Florence, Italy...

And, speaking of Florence, how fun it
would be to visit that city together.
And, if we've gone that far, going to
the Greek isles, would also be fun.

Re: Alcohol
I do not drink-
Not because I'm an uptight teatotaler
or a recovering alcoholic.
Alcohol simply doesn't get me high.
Instead, It just goes to the back of my neck
and hurts for the next 24 hours...
Thanks for listening.
