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.

Work Out

Good morning my love:

I can absolutely have dinner with you on Monday if you so desire, no obligation. Early dinner would obviously be best. Let me know what time you can make it.

I love you,

HFG : )

Hello gorgeous,

I think getting together tomorrow night is overly optimistic.  I have a million things to do.  I hate to miss the opportunity to see you though.  It might be a while.  I think you said after the 14th.  Is that still true?

Hey:

I hope your today was better than yesterday.  I can meet you tomorrow at about 6 on the UES for an hour or so, but it's completely up to you. Don't feel obligated. Yes, it will be a while, but shit happens as they say. The week of 8/13 through Friday is still good. It's the week you get back, so I don't know how your work will be, but I hope we can have at least one afternoon before the insanity begins again, especially after the couple of delays.  I guess we'll see what happens.

I love you,

Me

Actually, that sounds perfect.  I have that kind of time.  Where will you be?  

Today was good.  I got a bike ride in, went to church and went to the gym.  I am a little sore.  I have been running wind sprints.  A few of my muscles are not yet ready. 

I always get plenty of time to work out in Minnesota.  For the most part it will be relaxing.  I won't always have internet access.  In fact, Friday and Saturday I won't have one at all.  We are taking my mother in law to a cabin in the woods.

We did a lot of planning.  My mom has a hotel room.   We also found all the pictures we had of him.  It wasn't a lot.  There were some from the healthy days.

I love you.

I'm sorry for being so childish at a time like this, but you doing wind sprints sounds really sexy. I like to think of you at that level of physical exertion. AND it's good for you. Win, win: )

Actually, sprinting has a very childish appeal to it.  I feel like I am playing.  Of course it is very intense.  Perhaps too intense.   I don't want to burn out.  It is very different than the other things I have been doing.  I can feel a number of muscles that seem to be suddenly getting a workout.  I am so stiff.  My hamstrings are really going to hurt tomorrow or Tuesday. 

I need to stay in shape.  I have a hot fucking girlfriend.

It's so true, once you do a new exercise you feel muscles you didn't know you had. It's like look at all the muscles who aren't working. They say the most effective kind of exercise routine is that which has variety, like yours does to make sure you get a total workout. I really should lift weights more often. I miss that, but I've been too lazy and cheap to go to the gym. One of these days.

I'm going to bed. I'll email you in the morning with a suggestion. I love you SNB, lots and lots.
