Religion, Politics, and Proposals

Hi all,

We have breached the topic of religion, spiritual health, Zelda and I.
And not with out some fear on my part.

I was raised in a religious family.
Although Zelda is not interested in the trappings of organized religion, she has her beliefs in the spirit.

My mother would aprove. (and to be honest, I believe 100% she and dad have had their fair share in all this. Dad passed in '82 and Mom joined him in '01).

Zelda has the luxury of parents still living... I met them on our 'second date'.
As things would have it, I was able to have Zelda "meet" my parents the same day.
(I was more up front with my folks, "Mom, Dad, this is Zelda. We're having sex!")

Whether you like your parents or not, I envy you...those of you who stop by anonymously, whose parents yet live...

Love them and appreciate them for who they are. Flaws and all. We all have them. And someday we may want, need that love from our children...

Mom died of matastatised cancer. It spread to already weakened lungs.
She judged her progress as such...

6 swallows of water, one breath
one swallow, one breath
one swallow, 6 breathes.
*********************

We delved into politics tonight.
Hey, why not?
There weren't very good options for President this year...
We were respectful of each other and will probably wait till later for any knock down drag out fights.
Though I don't foresee that ever happening...
At least not over politics.
I really don't care enough about them to want to ruin my day because of them...

Still plenty of time for all that.
**************************
Planning a trip with Zelda to "the land of fruit and nuts" other wise known as California.
I have a business trip in March or so. Thought, "Why not capitalize on this? Let's make this a pleasure trip as well."
I have never met someone I have felt as comfortable with as Zelda.
We both look forward to it with excitement!
*************************
I did something I have never done before.

I proposed.
To Zelda.

Yes it is WAY too early yet.
And this may all fold like a deck of cards.
But I don't honestly believe that. (Or I would never have offered!)

I haven't seen her on a bad day yet.
We both live in far distant lands.

She asked to wait. This is a good thing.
Someone has to have a level head.

So all you in her Office.
You can settle up your bets!

I'd like to simply elope.
But there are fffaaarrr too many folks involved...
My sister would kill me.
"YOU FINALLY GOT MARRIED AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!!"

Would be interesting conversation with her parents though.
"Hi Mom? Are you sitting down?
Yeah, uh, do you remember the guy who picked me up and gave me a *ride* to Dallas?
Yeah that's him.
Wel...
He's your new son-in-law!
No mom, I'm not kidding.
Yes mom I am sober.
Yes, he has a job, and a car.
And a Harley.
No, no drug problem...
no tatoos.
Oh, he does have an STD. Yeah, herpes, I think...
Love you, gotta go!"
*****************

Oh, you might want to know....

We used the "L" word for the first time with each other tonight.

"L" word, eh? would that be loquacious or lollipop or loud or lewd or lascivious or laconic or lucid or lusty or lecherous or longing or listless or...love?

Seeing as the last woman to share that word with me in a romantic sense turned into a ghost and almost immediately dissappeared. Some might take your comment as a 'wirty dord'!

For those sensitive anonymous blog visitors, who are suffering from an aversion to such strong language. I appologize for such blatant expressions of emotion!

And for those brave ones willing to post.
Yes, sigh, we shared the word,

lust,

oh, I mean

"Love"...
