Now that I am 82  and feeling as though I am accelerating and it is time to write about it.  It has been three years since my spouse's departure from this life and I may have been given permission to go the rest of the way on my  own. Several times a day I want to tell my wife what has just happened but she is not here as far as I know.

 Perhaps it is too soon to write about the acceleration.  Perhaps I should first  put on goggles or strap myself in.  What the hell; there is nothing really to hide and I want to live all a very full life from here on out.  It all began on February 1, 2016.    I am going to divide this blog into sections.    There will be a personal life section and a public life section.   But I intend to be open and honest as I possibly can without injuring anyone's feelings I hope .  Much of this is about how to traverse the 80s.    But it is with us was a very say that because the there are many ways to traverse the 80s and has given you the one that I know about.    intend to explore intimacy without regard to  sexuality per se but rather simply personal intimacy  in which those involved including  myself  allow the semipermeable membrane to fully open.
