I've been open to the idea for years but I didn't want to raise someone
elses kids (unless she was a widow) plus after two marriages I had a real
good idea of what I *didn't* want. Add in that when I divorced at 30, I was
one good looking man and women threw themselves at me. Not a whole lot of
incentive to make a commitment, if ya get my drift. In those 22 years I've
been all over the world and had more adventures than 99% of the folks out
there. The only thing that could have made my life better after that was
someone to share it with. If the truth be told, I wasn't sure I'd know the
right one if she bit me on the ass so I prayed that I'd know her when I saw
her. We pretty much knew it from the gitgo. The rest is a fairy tale in the
making.
