Ken is leaving tomorrow morning for about eighty days. He’ll be busy so I’m sure I won’t be foremost in his thoughts but he claims he’ll really miss me and I’m sure he will.

Tonight Tampa Lightning hockey club is playing the first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Ken will watch it with me (as he has all of the playoff games.) I’m sure he won’t stay late because his departure will be early tomorrow.

It’s been a fun time. We’ve spent countless hours together since we resumed our “friendship” on April 6th. He’s a great guy but I can get by without him if that’s what’s required of me. I don’t like the up and down nature of our relationship and it might be easier on me not to think in terms of “resuming” when he gets back. I’ll see. No promises but I’m not totally closing the door.
