Tiramasu
In his blog, my nephew was talking about a trip we all took to Disneyland a while ago. He said that I was fun to be around, and he had a nice time. He also talked about me from a "matters of the heart" perspective. He said that I was broken. Broken. I didn't like the way that sounded, so I've decided to do something about it. Whereas I'm not really broken, I have had a resistance to open up to new things and new people. It was a recipe for hermit-hood.
I've decided to say, "Here I am God", with an open heart. With all my faults, I give Him no reason to grace me with the blessing of a relationship, but I have this matter of hope that simply won't die. At times it's hard to find, but it keeps coming back. I'm an optimist at heart. I've decided to join one of those online dating sites. I've also decided to consider dates when they're offered. Not that I was ever beating them off with a stick, but I have had a few opportunities from friends wanting to hook me up or by women asking me out directly.
I know that God will only send that which is good for me, so I'm not as nervous as perhaps I should be. 2006 and 2007 are going to be interesting years for me. I'm not the most experienced dater. In fact, I think I've had less than 1/2 a dozen first dates ever. My last real date was in 1997.
P.S. You get a point if you know the reason behind the Title of this entry.

Where's Johnny?
WOW! Almost a whole month without posting anything. Sorry all. It's been a mix of vacations and work keeping me busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.
