The perfect day

A kiss on the cheek just before I start writing. Now that's just how perfect this day has been. Before I start sounding completely whacked out, let me give you my recommendation for today: love.

It has to be the best thing going in a world that gets crazier everyday. I don't know about you, but that special someone can make life seem so much better. Of course, as my better looking half points out, there are times when you just hope that things like knives and guns aren't within reach. The last thing you would want is to end up in jail for a crime of passion. I can just see the crime reporters out there rubbing their hands in glee. Since I am straight, the story becomes a single column. Sorry, you'll have to wait a bit for the next Pushkin to come along.

Hmm ... was that a bit insensitive. Dragging in a dead man -- even if he was murderered in spectacular fashion -- just to make a flippant point. Sheesh, sometimes I suprise my ability to be downright crude. I am going to miss the checks and balances of the newsroom.

Ok, no more writing .. I have someone right next to me demanding attention.
