Well it has taken us this long to get back ... in many ways I feel like we are still on our honeymoon. It was an amazing kiss. The girl, the time, the place, the people. What could be better. As I update this website now, at 5 in the morning on a random school night, I'm trying to sum up a way in which I could describe the events of the day. I remember every detail and could describe the last thread on Jenn's dress. But I will refrain from putting to words those details. I think for now we should be content in our memories and let them linger and surround us a bit longer before we come down from the clouds and kiss the paper. For those who made the voyage to Paris to be with us that day, thank you ... you are truly dear.

I kissed Jenn during last Saturday's LIGHTS OUT SAN FRANCISCO. Essentially, in an effort to do our small part in the reduction of energy consumption and slow global warming, the residents of San Francisco were asked to shut off all their lights between the hours and 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. We were out anyways so it wasn't much of a sacrifice. It gave me an idea though. I have decided to declare next week (10/29 to 11/5) LIGHTS OUT JENN week - I'll think of a better name later. Essentially, here is the idea for all those who want to do their part in preventing global warming while hopefully strengthening relationships. During LOJ week, no lights or other non essential electric appliances after 7:30 p.m. Keep the lights off and burn a couple of candles to set the mood. Turn off your televisions and put down those lap tops. Those who can't handle no electricity cold turkey can go out. That's the global warming part. The relationship part. While the television is off... talk to her. I hope everyone bored enough to be reading this website will be bored enough to have some fun and join me in LOJ week. 10/24/07

The morning is quiet and gentle. I am the only one awake but asleep in a trance. Jennifer sleeps, peaceful, pouty, innocent. Her face smiles through her closed eyes and pressed lips. I wish to wake her to tell her I love her but I do not as she will be awake soon enough. I grin at her breath and watch it carry the soft sheets upward gently and downward with purpose. I wish to wake her to tell her I love her but do not as she will be awake soon enough. Her skin has the scent of aloe and lavender. I can see her smooth and delicate fingers from across the bed. I want to wake her to tell her... wait I think she awakes. Like every morning, I pretend that I am asleep so we can wake up together. 9/12/07

When I close my eyes and try to imagine an ocean or a star seldom do the images seem real. When I imagine her the vision is so vivid that I can actually feel the beats of my heart drum faster.

To say one word to her is to live one moment. And so I speak, that I may one day gather a thousand such moments. Because when this dream is realized, I will have spent a lifetime with her. 1/23/07.

I kissed Jenn at SFO the other night. We spent Christmas on the east coast. I had to work so I flew back early and she took a few more days of vacation to spend with her family. When she dropped me at the Philadephia airport, I did not really kiss her good bye, partly because I think she was sick and also because her parents were there. The entire flight home I felt strange, as if it were a missed opportunity. It sounds really corny I know but I just needed to ... well, I just don't want to miss out on the important things in life. 12.31.06
