...because I am in love.

There's something about 1 in the morning that makes me feel good. Maybe it's that most people around here are in bed already. Fast asleep. And I'm still wide awake. Even my cat Loverboy is sleeping. On his cushion here on my desk top. I had a nice supper. Broiled salmon basted in white wine sauce. Potatoes. Green beans. And a small piece of butterscotch pie for dessert. And I read the local newspaper, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, while I dined at the lunch counter. And I picked up around the house. Turns out I didn't even leave the premises today -- for the first time in a long time. The cars stayed in the garage. Anyway, all is well...because I am in love. --Jim Broede
