SMARTASS WANTED
before Craigslist, there were newspaper Romance/Sex ads aplenty.the SF Chronicle refused the usage of 'smartass' and demanded a family friendly synonym,i had none. after months of honing ads and getting dud replies (the ads were free & concise,usually 35-50 words) i had found the defining term of mutual recognition,so i dropped the Chronicle ad and focused on the EAST BAY EXPRESS (formerly a blue collar weekly now tarted up under new owners) now it so happened Soul Mate was also running an ad in the same paper but had included a term which i decided was less than cuddle-friendly,so she didn't make the five i called back each week. so she called me.because people had been chiding her as a smartass for years and she was up for the challenge.the first time we talked it was for five hours, i took notes. the next day our schedules were in sync so we met face to face, talked another five hours,kissed (with a female photog crouched behind a tree watching us,she thot we were a photogenic cpl) then SM ran off to a nite class.

so when we talked i flooded SM with information,
overwhemled her with my flaws and misdeeds.
so she asked
'Why are you telling me all this?' me 'so in ten years you won't be saying i kept anything from you.' she thot me a bit arrogant. SM 'what makes you think we'll be together in Ten Years???' me,confident.'you'll see.' like a key in a lock we fit together.it made all our troubles easier and there were LOTS OF TROUBLES AHEAD.that was 17 years ago yesterday and it's still Sweet!

a bit of irony,
when i was still married to My Ex she took a belly dance class and met SM who was in the same class,My Ex reported 'i met a girl in class tonight,i think you'd like her,' indeed but it took a divorce,Kaiser ICU near death experience and years to find her...

in other news,
i will be adding liks to PAGANI's Profile and blogs ASAP am still a bit woozy from eye drops.
