		<description>&lt;b&gt;Spiffy:&lt;/b&gt; I think I get what you're getting at, and I also understand that possibly part of you regrets some of it, but since you say today's happiness and reality are better than anything else, then you know it was all for the best.

Congrats on baby#2, hope all goes well for the Spiffy family :).</description>

		<description>No, they all knew up front that I was not going to be around for more than a few months. I suppose many thought that they'd be the "one" that I would fall for and therefore settle down. It's a little iffy, I'm sure many of the women thought I was disingenuous, but the reality was that I treated them like a queen when I was with them and when I was with someone else, I treated them like they were a queen. If they made assumptions based on how well I treated them, then they were based on hopes and not affirmations. It's all very complicated in a simple way. ;-)

Even the fantasies are less appealing than the reality of what I have. Different is not necessarily better, even in la la land.

Yes, mostly good things. Simplifying a few things in preparation for baby #2 to arrive.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Spiffy:&lt;/b&gt; I guess that's a little different than marrying the first lover. I ask haven't we all met a Mr Summer V at some time, wished it could be more, but we knew deep down it wasn't going to be? Or was it a case of leading them on to believe there could be more? As for the thought of being with somebody else now, fantasies are different to actually wanting to pursue anything, is it not?

I was hoping all was well with you and your absence was due to good things in life :).</description>

		<description>Well, I said I married my 1st love, not my 1st lover. I was something of a male slut back in the day. I seemed to be always the one other people fell in love with, but never fell in love myself. I just figured I was broken on the inside (which, in a sense I was) and stopped thinking about it. I was not the "marrying kind" according to everyone I knew. I was nicknamed many things, one of which was Summer Vacation, usually Summer V or occassionally just Summer. So that whole Zen Wizard PPS conversation weirds me out a little) Summer V for "It's fun to go, see the sites, experience the fun and thrills and do new things, but it's all gonna end after a few months."
I did find love at the ripe old age of 24 and we got married 2 years later. After 9 years, the thought of actually being with someone else kid of turns my stomach a little bit. . . . as does the thought of snowballs.
You were thinking good things I hope.</description>

PPPPS - I'm running out of Ps. As for the espresso machine, it broke and I replaced it with a shiny new model. Like life really. Love Cléa.</description>

		<description>PPPS: You can go ahead and keep the espresso machine.  You seemed to enjoy it more than I did anyway.  Love, D.</description>
