return of summer Saturday not only brought some peace and quiet with it, but some great summer weather as well. Most of this week has been rather nice weather wise, but it wasn't until today that I got to take advantage of it by letting the breeze blow hrough my house. I also got around to getting my car washed for the first time in months. ... Ann and I talked some more like we usually do on a Friday night. Monday will be her first day off in nearly a week and she is going to see her daughters for a couple of days. Once again she asked me to go with her some time and I said that I would. A few weeks back when she had first asked me I had hesitated and she seemed hurt that I didn't say yes right away. Now that I know her better, I think that we could handle a nine hour car ride together. I may not be her husband. I may not be her boyfriend, but I'm still her friend and I worry about her. I can't help it. It's just who I am. There are times when she reminds me of Tracy, but she isn't her. Ann is much more focused than the Tracy that I remember. What I think is the same is the way that both of them talk about their children. The amount of emotion involved is amazing. Tracy had Christopher with her, but Ann only gets to see her daughters once or twice a month. They keep growing up on her without her being there to see it happen. Ann said that I'm not to make fun of her, when she starts to get bigger. At the moment she just looks a little over weight and can hide it with clothes, but that is about to change she said. Her birthday is this coming Friday and she went and bought some birthday presents for herself that included some lingerie and perfume. At first I thought that she was going to have me smell the bottle, but before I knew what was happening she showered a small burst of it over me. She thought that it was funny. I spent the rest of the night smelling like her. It was a very odd sensation to say the least. It was as though she were there, but she wasn't. ... The band Travis is my new musical obsession. You have to admire a group that can transform the Britney Spears song Hit Me Baby Baby One More Time into something with meaning. Then there are the slight Radiohead and James influences that come through their music that I can't resist.
