"Fools rush in where wise men never go
but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?"

song lyrics from some oldies song played on the radio at work...

i never did put down on paper the timeframe i've been working with, or working on, been given -- if i'm not mistaken, around now is when i figured i'd be in position to have a girlfriend, have funds budgeted and set aside to take her out and treat her to some stuff, and enough things organized to where i can spend time with her. did i find her? i need to observe more and verify the checklist, but my heart is already going ahead with its plans even though it's still weak and shy.
