Ghosts Can Whistle

The wind carried the tune
Across the narrow road.
Whistles that reminded me
Of long ago happy times.

The pitch caught my attention
And made me hold my breath.
I felt my father in the air.
On that autumn day.

I didn't want the day to end.
Or mosquitos to send me in.
The breeze was as perfect
As the random notes I heard.

Denial....

I watched as she begged, pleaded
And nervously laughed.
"Come for a bike ride!", she giggled.
"Let me pet your dog!", she demanded.
She was so desperate to see him.
As he hid inside behind the curtains.
"You have to. I'm feeling sad."
She attempted to gain sympathy.
Instead I heard frustration. 
"My parents aren't home."
"You have two dogs of your own."
If he wanted to be with her,
He would have swiftly broken
His parents' rules.
However, his made-up excuses fell
upon the deaf ears
Of a young girl in denial.

50 and Still Dating!

I'm back at it again...

I recently turned 50 and, last night, I decided to start checking out a dating website.  This one is OVER 50!!!  How am I 50?  When did that happen?  Would someone please let me know where the past 10 years went?

I've gained a bunch of weight since the last time I officially dated and I've been very self-conscious about it.  Something happened on Feb 27 - I stopped feeling that way.  I looked amazing at my party and I'm not afraid to admit it!  However, I don't like being large because it's uncomfortable and I don't like how I present myself at work, so I started losing weight.   My doctor prescribed a medication that's used for diabetes but "off-label" it's being used for weight loss.  I'm two clicks away from the big D and stroking out due to my high blood pressure and all the other medical phenomina that exist in this body of mine.

I signed up for the over 50 dating site because I was interested to see who was on there.  Ummm - it seems like serial killers and men with crazy eyes are the only ones available!  Where are all the good divorced guys?

Stay tuned for some new adventures....
