RE: GETTING TO KNOW YOU

hi chris. well here's you hearing back. and here's you getting to know me better, basically through this email, and that's where our relationship ends.

i knew we had no future when i read that you love church and try to make it there every sunday. see i spend my sundays sleeping in, then taking naps. that doesn't fit with the church model. especially if the church model includes some sort of post church "festivity" or "giving back." i generally don't have enough time on sunday to do more than one activity beyond sleeping in and napping and that activity tends to be eating dinner.

the divorce and the kids were a close runner up. i'm fairly certain that i don't want to date anyone who has two young children who live at home. look, i have enough trouble taking care of my dogs. i have a dog sitter who stops by daily to make sure my dogs are fed. i'm sure you wouldn't want me to be left alone with your children without a dog sitter. they might not get fed.

oh, and the fact that you live in las vegas didn't help the matter. you know the whole pick me up for diner thing? i'm kind of picky about that. i like to be courted, and that's difficult long distance. besides. las vegas is where people go to die. i'm not ready to die yet. nor am i ready to convert to catholocism or become a mother.

i'm really sorry about your accident and that you're in a wheelchair...

but i can't help but wonder how you frequently ride your bike? and go on shooting trips? and work as a firefighter from a wheelchair? but what is beyond me is beyond me and i won't question.

i just have to mention though, about the shooting, that i always worry that when you go shooting you might forget that when you come home that the activity is over. like, you come inside the house and see a quick movement (ie, my dog running) and BOOM! down goes jack. your excuse? sorry. i just got back from shooting and i thought i saw a deer inside the house. yeah, we've all heard that one before.

really, it seems that we don't have the same morals or value systems.... but i can't help conjuring up sharon angle when i think of you. seriously, she lives in nevada and she's only been married for 40 years. you know what it is to go through divorce. maybe you could just give her marriage a little nudge in that direction. i have a feeling the two of you would be endlessly happy together.

kisses.
