From Strange to Bizarre

Life has definitely taken a very bizarre twist. It seems almost like a movie so that I feel "disconnected" and am watching actors play out the events of the last three days.

Married. I really thought I would never marry again. For as long as I can remember, I always liked older girls. This preference exhibited itself during my dating years so that I married a woman five years my senior. After the divorce two decades later, I continued to date older women - my last two "girlfriends" these past three years were in their fifties. The problem is that older women tend to be uninterested in long-term commitments. Thus my online ad.

Which is how I have come to find myself married to someone much younger.

So this morning Jessica needed to be at the school by six to go on a Beta Club day trip. She will be back around eight.

I noticed as she was putting her shoes on that they had a hole on one side and that her socks each had holes in the heel as well as one by the big toe. Taking a quick glance through her well-worn duffel bag revealed all of her clothes are in this same shape. We are going out to REI tonight to get her a backpack, sleeping bag, and a few other items for our trip tomorrow. It looks like we need to add mall stop to the list for clothes.
