* "that... was a pretty good day"

"now that... was a pretty good day."  
-bill murray, in "groundhog day"

today began as another morning with no alarm clock, no pain, no sickness, no kids, no debt, no break-up proceedings, and none of the stuff that the average 65+ year-old guy tends to experience as his mind wanders -- thinking of how things could be even better. 

i actually googled "where can a 50+ year-old man go to get propositioned by a woman on the beach?"

throughout my adult life, i've 'dated' multiple women (simultaneously) and, when one of them 'clicked' with me, i entered a monogamous relationship -- shutting down the top-10 poll.

when my ego isn't in a one-on-one relationship, it seems to desire one.  when it is in a relationship, it (eventually) doesn't want one.

i remember times, in the past, being propositioned (jogging, walking the beach, on the job, etc.) by women.  it felt gooooood!   

it doesn't happen much, anymore, but when it does, i will be ready to make her day... and maybe even her week, or months, etc.

in the meantime, i am grateful for the autonomy, the contemplation time, the freedom, the coffee, the hummingbirds, the fountains, the weather, and (most of all) the possibilities.
