Early in the movie Sex and the City, there’s a scene where Carrie and Big are in bed together. They’re reading and sharing reading glasses. It’s a portrait of sweetness that embraces age and intimacy.

One of my many favorite moments with Babe, is laying next to him reading. Sometimes I’ll have a book of my own. Most of the times, I just enjoy laying next to him with my head on his chest. When you’re that close and comfortable with someone, it’s truly special.

My two worlds have finally met. New York came to Fresno today. The beau drove from the bay area after his conference to pick me up in Fresno where I was visiting Mom. It was utterly warm and surreal. It was hard to say farewell but Yosemite Half Dome awaited us.

Afterwards, Mom called to say she liked him from the moment she saw his face. Funny, that’s exactly what I thought to myself the first night I met him.

New York comes alive in spring time. People seem happier and friendlier. The days are getting longer and the skirts are getting shorter. It seems absurd to work as hard in the office when it’s this nice outside. Men are more confident about competing, while women are in a better natural position to choose. You can still never think or be too hopeful you’re the only special one. But by the offchance that you are… well, that might just be something truly spectacular.
