Jon, there's an old document hidden in the Blender navigation about the history of the site:<BR>
<a href="http://www.loveblender.com/history.html">http://www.loveblender.com/history.html</a><BR>
That probably explains it about as well as I would now.

Greetings all!<BR>
<BR>
Kirk, thanks for the October pick.  I'll consider it a birthday present :-).  You have an uncanny knack for picking things that I write from reality rather than pure imagination...  the reason that I've been absent for a month is, you guessed it, I've been in Asia!  Maybe when I finish my travelogue, I'll post the link here.  Kind of a follow-up to the Launch Pad work.<BR>
<BR>
I personally suck at dating, and am not looking forward to starting again.  I am at the age when I think my clock has stopped ticking (38 on the 21st), and the men my age who want a serious relationship are looking for someone more nubile.   And so many of the older men just seem so... old.  I suppose, when I'm ready, if I'm ready, *someone* will start to seem appealing.<BR>
<BR>
I'm not really interested in casual dating of new people, but I have to say, I appreciate the men in my life that are "tweeners"; partners between relationships. (more coarsely know as f-buddies) There have only be a few, where the love and caring we have for each other is well established, but we know that anything more than friendship would not work.  I can only have casual sex (and keep it casual), if there is a loving relationship there, with its own set of boundaries.  With anyone new, there are so many possibilities, so many "what if"s, that it is hard to keep it casual.<BR>
<BR>
Ramble ramble ramble... must be the jetlag!
