What is Love? My eldest recently told my wife she may start dating; personally I was a little taken aback because she didn’t want to discuss it with me. Obviously the kid knows me and I would  have probably tried to convince her to finish school, get an education, see the world, start a career and when she is ready to start a family then consider dating that someone special. I think I am a realist and understand one  cannot cap feelings and emotions and we are human after all. The courting, the flowers, the cards and letters are wonderful experiences, just ask the many women I gave roses to and then they showed me the door because it was an over expression of my true intentions. When in high school I had the pleasure to be introduced to the writing and works of Dr. Buscaglia. He was a professor, I believe at USC (University of Southern California) whose classes were always full. Even though he has passed on, I encourage you to read his books. His messages are simple yet meaningful. The hardest thing someone can say is ‘I love you’ yet in the society we live, people continue to seek the perfect relationship with unrealistic expectations. The puppy love is fantastic until it grows up or the dog dies, in the end you only get out of a relationship what you put into it. The most important thing that I  believe anyone should do is live to do the things that are most important to one’s self and when you love yourself above everything else, then you can afford to love and be loved in return. Happy be-lated Valentines Day, I was  too busy listening to my Whitney Houston tapes as I waited patiently for my wife to come home from work…Meow!
