Sometimes a quicky is more satisfying

I hope you all had a good 4th of July.  I had the pleasure of spending it with my son, watching the firework along the Back Cove.  We had a great view, but were too far away to get the full effect of the “boom”.  The next day, the kids were with the ex’s family, so I had the day to myself.  It wasn’t what I was expected and it wasn’t what I hoped for.  Since my breakup with the woman I was seeing for the past 20 months, it been a challenge spending time alone.  I don’t mind being by myself.  I take myself to the movies every Tuesday.  But, being alone in my apartment is sometimes a lonely experience.  My mother, who is wiser than my Dad gives her credit, told me that men want to be with someone.  I guess it’s the residual of our prehistoric ancestors, who traveled in clans and lived communally.  Since I’m not a woman and can’t relate their experiences, I can only say that for myself, I like having another person in my life.  It doesn’t have to be someone who shares living space.  It could a cat.  I know that it’s challenging for myself being the only being in my apartment.  As I continue my journey, it will be something I shall ponder.

That’s not really a quicky…
