Living & loving. What a combo!

I like living. Getting out and about. Pursuing love. Romance. With one other. In this case, an Italian woman. The whole thing came about unexpected. About a year after Jeanne died. I've cultivated the contact. On a daily basis. For over three years now. We've met and traveled together. In Venice. In Trieste. In the Italian Alps. In Edinburgh. In the Scottish Highlands. In Iceland. In Germany. And right here in the U.S. In Minnesota. And I'm about to take up living in Italy in the wintertime. And she'll live with me in Minnesota in the summertime. I never dreamed life could be this good. If I wrote a storybook, I couldn't write it any better than this. Real love. Twice in my life. Believe me, I believe in love. I'm a romantic idealist. I live for love. And I love to live. --Jim Broede
