Today I met a Cougar

Not feline however.

We made the aquiantance of a 60 year old woman--- european, very beautiful and classy, dating a man 22 years year junior. 8 years into their relationship, and they seem very happy. 3 Kids, a longtime previous marriage and so much travel and experience under her belt. I enjoyed her company very much, but also could not help thinking-- man all the men her age must really hate that such a beautiful woman is dating such a young man, and I imagined that her partner has experienced much disbelief from the younger generation. It struck me, as we spoke and drank with her, that her relationship (with the often negative stigma attached to it) is just one more example of the need for all of us to accept each person for their own beliefs, orientation and lifestyle choices. Love is love. It has made me hopeful. With that said, we all know am very blunt, critical and outspoken... maybe I should lay off the Dan Savage stuff.... Nah.

I am going to paint my toes now.
