GRINNING IN BERLIN

Why am I grinning? There many reasons. Number one is that I am
with the woman I love, Gabrielle.



It is has been over five years of friendship that blossomed into a romance
that has brought me here to my new home. After living under dark clouds
for a number of years, I broke out of them and went my own way, only to
find there was someone waiting patiently, without my knowledge, for me.

For Gabrielle, she hoped and waited. For me, I never thought about beyond
a friendship, well, okay, maybe in my dreams. But do dreams really come
true? I never thought so.

It became one of those, really! Could this happen to me? It did. I then
thought after meeting Gabrielle last year after so many conversations that
began on Myspace so long ago, it is time to make another life decision.

So here I am, three weeks after leaving everything and everyone in America.
On my own accord, retiring from American radio.

I have never been with anyone in my 63 years that has made me feel an equal.
To say we have a love so strong, no one can break us, is an understatement.

An element in all my past relationships that wasn't there, was smiling each
and every single day. After two visits and a visit from her to Phoenix, and now
that I am here for good, all we do is smile and grin. Will this continue? I
have never felt stronger about anything than this. Our tempermant is exactly
the same. Gentle and non-combative.

Radio will come again, when I am ready. I have all the professional equipment
one needs, and so it will happen, but for now I am in a great need to enjoy
life, enjoy each and every day with my fiance. That is what life decisions are
all about.

Now that I feel the most comfortable with everything around me, including
myself, my story can continue.

Until my next post, just know that I have an honest to goodness grin looking
at all of you with sincerity.
