Just so many things.........

Gosh...where do I start?  It's been interesting to say the least.   Busy planning Lauren's baby shower in November; leaving for LA this Saturday for business/pleasure; birthday tomorrow....the big 52! and having foot surgery next week....OY
Been back to the online dating thing since Labor Day.  On my never ending mission for find the "one".  Have been getting a lot of interest.....but one person in particular has captured me.  Ron from Bucktown.  Rides a BMW motorcycle; works for United Airlines as a flight officer and does all of the flight plans for the pilots on the Pacific coast and tells me the other night that he is an alcoholic.  Well...my heart sank for sure.  He is this pretty wonderful guy.....has it all going on for him....looks, nice condo, great career and he springs this on me.  Not sure what to feel.  Have never been exposed to something like this before.  He tells me that he has been sober for 2 1/2 years but wow.  That's not a long time in my eyes when you think that he is a 54 year old man.  Not sure where I need to be here.....I sure feel very drawn to him.  And it takes a lot for me to feel that way about anyone.  Probably still feeling a little guarded and damaged to an extent.  Know that I can open up my heart as I have before but wow.....so many what ifs. 
Just need to think this one over a bit....and maybe some guidance from above....
