I am glad to see that you have somewhat returned. I have always enjoyed your insightful posts.
I wish you the best
Happy posting...
A number of my old friends have sent me private messages welcoming me back into the fold. And there's understandably been quite a few questions about my situation. So...
Yes, I'm still in the relationship for which I entered retirement and to date, as I mentioned in one of my private messages, I haven't polished the bishop with anything but domestic oil. My SO is a delightful woman for whom I have deep feelings. Even after nearly two years though, I still find myself comparing her (unfairly) to the ghost of my wife. Moreover, my SO's grown daughter is possitively certifiable -- a real monster; a situation which, as I have explained to my SO, will prevent our relationship from progressing and may indeed, cause its end.
I'm back because, frankly, I missed the humor, the banter and the free exchange of ideas. I've also missed some really nice people; some of whom I've come to think of as potential friends.
Again, as I mentioned in one of my private replies, my job has me traveling quite a bit and, as surprising as I find this, I have had a number of opportunities to check the oil in several foreign cars. But I don't want to begin a relationship with anyone until my current situation resolves. To do so would be unfair to two innocent people.
I have, on the other hand, revisited not only these boards, but a number of you ladies' sites. And while I'm not going to go apesh*t, I do intend to drop in on some of you. Indeed, there's a matter in San Diego to which I would like to attend, and plan to do so as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Sedona, you'll be the first to know (wink...actually, it was more like a leer).
Pope in his pope-mobile? A matter in San Diego? Are you fortifying the border? A relationship? I thought this was the hobby, and we are all just pawns in some wierd mildly incestous twister game that we dabble in.
Somebody give me a copy of the requisite Cliff Notes, as I obviously didn't get one at the door.
I can't connect the dots, my pencil broke. Don't bother peeking at my website, my pictures look nothing like me and I am way too demure sounding. I need to rectify things forthwith. Big red Sharpie coming right up.

I had originally posted this on 3/20/04 under the subject, "I'm happy to BE back..." under the thread, "I just posted this on the Newbie board, but it may have some use here as well..."
I'd been very much involved in this board about a year ago and had corresponded regularly with a number of people. My return has prompted a number of messages asking about my well-being and about the situation that caused my departure. I wrote this message with those correspondents in mind, not considering how confusing the message might be to someone who didn't know me from the past.
I had a number of posts that elicited a wide response and if you're interested, you may want to look over some of them. I also posted a well-received porn story at www.geocities.com/lovedapiper, which might give you a little insight into my head.
At any rate, forgive me for being a little hard to follow. Hopefully, the following will clear up your questions...
I'm not really sure I get the Pope reference. Was it to my term, "polish the bishop?" If so, that's a euphamism for sex, and my reference to only using domestic oil means I've not strayed from my SO.
When I say I don't want to begin a relationship until my current situation resolves, I'm speaking about civilian realtionships and drawing a distinction between them and those with providers.
The matter in SanDiego referred to Sedonofsandiego. She and I had enjoyed several interesting exchanges just before I left last year, but we never met. My comment simply means I intend to correct that condition as soon as I'm able.
Again, sorry for any misunderstanding. Incidentally, I'm afraid I couldn't resist taking a peek at your site. It's too bad the photos look nothing like you; the lady I saw was absolutely striking.
I am glad to see that you have somewhat returned. I have always enjoyed your insightful posts.
