My Friends: Past and Present.
To me friendship is one of the most powerful experiences that humans can and the reason I say this is because in order for me to call you my friend means I have love for you. Love is not something I will define. It is too complex for the English language. We only have one word for love even though there are many different levels to love. I love my wife, I love my dog, I love riding my Ducati, I love my neighbor John, I love my mom, brother, sister, dad, Babcia. As you notice love is the dominate word but each statement is a different type of love. This is an easy one. I love my dog as I would a two year old child. Lots of nurturing, cuddling and touching all innocent because they are innocent and also Merlin gives me unconditional love. He fully trusts me to clean his teeth, feed him, wash him and brush him with out hurting him. Now this is a contentious issue between my wife and I. She thinks I love the dog more that her. I just say it is a different love for him than it is for her. I love my wife fully and have every desire to create memories with her until the day one of us transfers to the next ______ (fill in the blank). But love between her and me is conditional, on both our parts. It is human nature. So I am not going to delve into this any deeper on this page because this is the friends page.
Erin Kennedy:
Beautiful wife of Michael Kennedy (me) and true love of my life. I will not go too much in to her bio because she has her own web page; Creative frog. I have know Erin since spring of 1998. We me at Sam's house who I knew during college, I dated her friend Julie Belvich. I got a call one evening from Julie and her friend asking about Tai my pit-lab who I took to CSUS almost every day during school. Unfortunately he had been put down a few years ago. So Julie invited me to her wedding (another story for another time) and I went. It was nice, held at Frasinetti's winery in So. Sacramento. Well Sam (Samantha) invited me to her Wednesday night barbeque. This is the bring your own flesh to carbonize type of event. I saw this beautiful woman (Erin) there so I tried to strike up a conversation with her for several months. Finally she talked to me, it was to sell me tickets to her CSUS choir concert at one of the local churches to raise money so they could go and sing in Europe for several weeks.. This was the start of our relation ship, sort of. Seems I did not have the opportunity to give/get Erin's phone number. She had to call Sam to get the phone number. This would have been fine except Sam claimed me as hers unbeknown to me. I took Erin several tries to get my number but she did and we talked for hours. I went to her concert on the Duc and unknowingly sat next to my competition, Ray. See Ray really liked Erin a lot. After the concert we went to our local ice creamery, Leatherby's Family Creamery, and I offered to pay for Erin's ice cream.
