First night out with the new man in my life

April 25, 2006 at 5:22 AM

Orchestra practice was tonight and the first night I got to show off the new man in my life on my arm :) He played beautifully but he did not like the modern music so much. He had fun with Motzart skipping like a child through the piece. He has a much stronger dominating sound than the old man. He also taught me why the Widow was so Merry! His older brother is also in the orchestra. They had a fun time visiting tonight.

He is so much larger than my old man that my back started getting sore after having him on my arm after an hour. It will take some time for our relationship to develop. I feel like I'm cheating on my old man, sitting at home alone and not being taken out. There is a teenage prodigy in our orchestra who has a boyfriend who is way too small for her. I'm going to let her take my old man out for awhile so he won't get lonely and she can see what it is like to be with someone larger. I can't let him go though since I've had him in my life for so long. All his scars hold fond memories for me. He is a centurian by now, and I recently gave him a face lift so he looks younger than he really is.

Unfortunately, the batteries on my camera died tonight, so you all will have to wait tomorrow to see him.

This is too tempting. I've been dreaming of a new beau/bow.
