Almost four years ago, I fell in love for the first time--twenty-five years too late--and began an affair. Over the years, Kevin and I have met several times a week and email several times a day. I have kept almost all of the emails that I sent to him and that he sent to me. Along the way, there has been laughter and tenderness and heat...and heartache.

This blog is the posting of our daily emails. It chronicles the lives of two people over a four year period so far, and tells the story of our burgeoning love against the backdrop of New York City.

The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent; the rest is 100% real.

The daily update structure helps keep the blog as authentic as possible as well as living up to its title. It also strives to provide the reader with the kind of pleasure that a soap opera offers--a daily dose of voyeuristic fun.

Please begin at the beginning, otherwise, little will make sense.

Enjoy.

Sexual Skills

Good morning love,

Yesterday was a rough day at work. Today shouldn't be bad but tomorrow might be. It will be nice to have seeing you to look forward to.  I could have used a big dose of Roya last night.  I would have loved to wrap myself up in that hot body of yours and disappear for a few hours.  I love you so much.

Did you hear what Rahimi had to say a couple of days ago?  It is bigots like him that give bigots like me a bad name.

How are you?  Do you have much going on today?  It should be very hot.

I am looking forward to karate tonight.  It will be nice to get in a good workout.  I haven't been going to the gym enough lately. 

XOXOXO

SNB

“I am just happy to get laid this decade.  I love you for that.  It is cool that a positive thing for your husband is good for us too.  The karma should be a little less severe.”

That's what I like, a low maintenance guy : ) There was a study out of UCSF a while back that said ejaculation reduces the chances of prostate cancer. So, I'm all for keeping you healthy. Coke, I might not be able to do anything about, but cock, might be a different story. I'm on the corny roll today : ) Anyway, it doesn't hurt that I'm having a lot of fun too.

I can't wait to see you tomorrow. The week went by faster than I thought. So, you think we're garnering bad karma? You're always saying or implying that we're being bad. I know you like being bad, but I don't feel really bad at all. I feel justified. You're so moral; you should become more amoral like me in some things. I believe in karma in a major way, but not in this.

Let's buy a cold coke at the park, I'll bring the vodka and some iced-tea for me. I'll take the 3:55 bus, which comes straight down 5th. I should get to 72nd street around 4:30 or 4:40. I can stay until about 6:45. My massage is at 7:00.

I hope today is going to be a little lighter than yesterday at work.

I love you,

XOXOXO

R.

That's so funny, we were writing each other at the same time. I have to go see what Rahimi said. Who the hell is he, anyway? Yeah, you can tell I really keep up with things. I'm glad you're going to karate tonight. You have to keep your figure, remember? Me too, I'm getting on the treadmill, but it will be pathetic. My incline is usually 6.5, today it will be 0, and my top speed 4.6, today will probably be 3.6, still it's a start and I don't want to aggravate my back again.

I'm taking the dog and the guinea pig to the vet today once Nadi gets back from camp, mostly for them to cut their nails. I'm too chicken to cut them myself. Once, I made Feisto bleed, he's so hyper wouldn't stay still for a second, so from that time, I just take them to the vet.

I love you!!!!!!

Good morning gorgeous,

Rahimi is the Vice President.  It sounds like Ahiminahemena picked him, so he would look good in comparison, much like our presidents.

I have to keep my figure and my sanity.  I work out more for my head than my body.  It clears my head.  Exercise is exercise, it doesn't matter what the incline or pace is.  Just keep moving forward.

A mani pety!  Pet nails are hard to cut.  I don't even try.  I read an article in the Times this weekend about someone who will come to a house and cut infant nails.  She charges $200 per hour.  She says if that sounds like too much, don't call.

I love you so much.  You are so kind to be concerned about my health.  Your kind of medicine doesn't require a spoonful of sugar that is for sure.

I was just making a joke about karma.  I have no morals.  I may have some ethics in me somewhere, but I haven't found them yet.  I am all about me. 

I should be able to make it to the park at about 4:45.  I will try to get there earlier.  I will keep you posted.

Have a great day.  I love you.

Hi My love:

How is your afternoon progressing? I hope better than yesterday.  I finally got on the treadmill and stayed on for almost an hour, felt a little hot, but broke no sweat sadly. Still, it's great to be working out. I know what you mean about it keeping one sane. Having you happy is all important, but you do know I just want you for your body, right? : )

I saw what that idiot Rahimi said. To tell you the truth, I don't think even he believes that crap, like when Ahmadiamenamena was saying the Holocaust never happened. They say shit like that once in a while to goose people. And lord does it work! Iranians are a very wily bunch.

Not me though, I lived there only for seven years of my life, and here for decades, so that makes me just a simple, good-hearted American : ) Where's the Velveeta?! I think New Yorkers belong to a country all their own--NYC. I can't remember who this famous writer was, but whenever he went to Europe, people would ask, "Are you American?" "No," he would reply. "I'm a New Yorker." I always thought that we very well said.

What should I bring for snack? Olives? Nuts? Wraps? I won't bring fruit or veggies, although, I hope you now appreciate the pleasures of ripe juicy summer fruit. I can bring a banana and pretend it's you  : )

Tell me if there is anything you absolutely love (no junk) and I shall procure it, or absolutely hate.

I miss you. It feels like years since I've looked at your handsome face.

XOXOXO

A very excited SNG

It is very quiet today.  It is a lot better than yesterday.  I don't mind that you only want me for my body.  I on the other hand have a variety of interests in you, your hot body, your amazing sexual skills and your affection for me.

I don't think they believe it either.  The drug trade?  Not even a Nazi thinks that.  They are very wily and smart enough to put guys like those two in positions of Sound and Fury.

NYC is a world unto itself.  That said, I can't deny being American.  People pick me out of crowds.  We went to Paris after the second W Bush election.  We couldn't hardly get anywhere because everyone wanted to tell me how unpopular W is in Europe.  They weren't amused when I pointed out that he got 61 million votes, more than the entire population of France.  Or that they were hardly in a position to mock our politicians.  I suggested that they take up painting because I didn't think there had been a French painter since Yves Klein.  They always felt the need to tell me that their expertise in American politics came from their 2 day visit to Indiana. 

I know you don't eat Velveeta!  Or is that actually organic?  I eat olives, nuts, fruit and some veggies like carrots and peppers if they are raw.  I like bananas though no one would ever confuse me for one.  The size is right ;0 but I am not curved and pointy at both ends.  There are too many things I don't like to list them but most snack food is good.  I actually don't snack on junk.  I don't like potato chips or even candy for that matter.

It has been too long.  I am really looking forward to seeing you.  I have a huge hug ready for when we get off the beaten path.

I love you Roya.  Have a great day.

Me

Emails are funny, one never quite knows when the other is kidding. I try to make it clearer, with smiley faces : ) but then when I think of you or talk to you, I'm always smiling : ) : ) : ) : )

My body, my sexual skills and the fact that I'm crazy for you, all sound like "body." You mean you don't like me for my intellect, wit and worldliness? Now, I'm truly offended : )

Well, George W is a dunce. I bet you the French like Obama. If not, then they're in my bad book too. I was thrilled to hear about the Supreme Court ruling today. Although, I definitely had my doubts with morons like Thomas on the bench, I really didn't know which way it will go. And to tell you the truth, making Americans do anything, is kind of un-American. They could've easily taxed us and put it towards health care. To make people buy it, is essentially the same thing, but has a totally different flavor. I hope he gets re-elected. I really want to see what he does in his second term, when he's freer.

Who are these awful French people who had been to Indiana for 2 days? It sounds like you met some horrible French people. Although, I have to say, they aren't that great. But hey, assholes, as decent people, come in every color and shape.  How could you have possibly liked W?!

I was just kidding about the Velveeta. I don't think there is much point to make oil, color and preservatives organic. I bet you there isn't a dollop of milk in that thing. I guess the Coke has stereotyped you as the king of junk. Shame on me!

I'll get there earlier than you, so I'll stop by Eli's and pick up a few things that look good.

I'm so looking forward to your arms around me!

XOXOXOXO

R.

Your intellect, wit and worldliness are bonuses.  No one came to AM looking for those things.  I just got lucky that those came with the hot body and sexual skills.

W was elected, just like Obama.  61 million people voted for him twice.  Like is for facebook, not presidents.  I am equally out of touch with both parties.  The only thing worse would have been the two gentlemen who couldn't beat him in an election. One guy even got more votes and still lost!  What a loser.  He is a classic defense of the electoral college. 

As for Obama, I am not a fan.  He is taking money from me in the creepiest ways possible.  He had his chance.  I see no reason to expect different in his second term.  That said, I won't move to Canada if he wins.  The problem isn't the people we elect, it’s us.  How is it possible that the people who love Obama despise Romney and vice versa?  Obama's signature achievement was modeled after Romney's signature achievement.  They are only different to be different.  A Harvard lawyer is a Harvard Lawyer.  Truth is, neither of these guys is Presidential.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.  Either will be fine. 

I wish I had my arms around you right now.  I have such a huge crush on you.

You mean if I didn't have the other stuff, just the body and the sexual skills (thanks for that, btw) you would still be with me?! You dog! But that's what I like about you! It's a little different for women, I guess. Sure, your looks turn me on to no end, but if I didn't like your intellect and charm, I wouldn't be with you even if you looked as you do, and did to me the same things you have : )

We can argue about politics tomorrow. Or not, because I have a feeling we'll have much better things to do. I'll bring a sheet. Let's find the densest part of the park.  At least we can lie down, if fully clothed. 

I can't wait to see you, my love.

XOXOXO

I have never seen them ranked by those attributes.  Why do you ask?  Maybe this is a joke?

Peter was angry, so it isn't him.  Judas was well, Judas, so not him.  I am inclined to say Paul.  He certainly taught people to be nice and gentle.

Thank you, Paul it is. Was there a Mark?

I'm writing a piece, so need to name one of my guy characters, a very nice gentle, simple person, something like that.

I'm so bummed out. My nephew and his family are moving away from NY back to Toronto. He was working here on a work visa which is still good until Sept, but was getting sponsored for his green card by this insane guy he worked for. My nephew managed his operations, from packaging company, to a duck farm and everything in between, he was even in construction for a while. So, the guy's gone bankrupt, and although my nephew has been on some interviews nothing really materialized, probably because he would need to get sponsored for a work visa or a green card. They've packed up their apartment, so they're spending the night in my guest room. I'm very sad. He is the son I never had, although we're pretty close in age. He used to live with me, and be my confidant until he got married to this bitchy girl. As much as I've tried to like her, I just can't warm up to her. He says, we're a lot alike, except, I'm much more polite to my elders, that I know. I guess life is all about change. There is one thing for sure, nothing stays the same, and maybe that's a good thing.

How was karate?

I love you!!!!

XOXOXOXO

Me.

There is a Mark.  He was not an apostle but an evangelist.  He may have been related to an apostle.  He wrote a gospel.  His claim to fame is when Jesus said this is my body and my blood he said, "ewwwww!  I am not eating that."  He got over it. 

Saint Francis was the nice gentle peaceful one.  He was not an apostle though.

Karate was great.  It was a lot of fun.  I am very glad I went.

How are you?

Me.
