It reminds me of what I told T the other night when I said my last marriage, I mean my third and final marriage, and then spelled it out for him &#8211; F I N A L &#8211; what does that say about a person. It starts to classify you as this or that and I kind of prefer the response E gave me when we were driving home from the Northshore some months back and I asked him if he would consider having another child and he said he had three kids and didn&#8217;t have to have any more children but he &#8220;would be open to the possibility if the situation was right&#8221; and then he said the same thing about a relationship &#8220;I don&#8217;t need to be in one, but I&#8217;m open to one if it was right.&#8221; I told G she should think about this as her tagline rather than saying &#8211; NO &#8211; especially when NO belies what she truly wants. <\/p>\n<p>Last night we watched the Saints game and then ended up at Feelings for a nightcap. I ordered my toasted almond but it didn&#8217;t come frozen, it was a shadow of its former self. <\/p>\n<p>I did my Sunday ritual and went for a two-hour bike ride &#8211; I need a longer lakefront to ride because most times I just don&#8217;t want to get off my bike.  I left early enough but ended up getting a little bit of a sunburn. But the best part of the ride were the six raccoons that were huddled in a group, the saucer sized butterflies, and the Great White Heron taking flight across the bayou this morning. <\/p>\n<p>R sent me an email this morning &#8211; with this message:<\/p>\n<p>YOUR GUT IS YOUR INNER COMPASS<br \/>\nWHENEVER YOU HAVE TO CONSULT WITH<br \/>\nOTHER PEOPLE FOR AN ANSWER<br \/>\nYOU ARE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION (O.W.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple moved in across the hall at the Can between H&#038;J and H&#038;T, they left a note on all of our doors inviting us tomorrow night to a 3rd Floor Happy Hour to say hello.
