2014 and Looking Back

Yet another Christmas comes around LL. This is the sixth that I have spent in Florida and looking at some of the weather in the north (our north not yours), I'm glad we do. Your weather doesn't look too good either.

So the man who can barely string a grammatically correct sentence together, is to become an author, albeit non fiction and soccer at that. How exciting...not ...yawn. Not going to top the bestsellers, or win the Pulitzer Prize is it.

Since starting this, we are now in Boston, Massachusetts that is, not Lincolnshire UK. Spending a week or so here with Cas and Liz before moving on to our home in NH. You will have gathered by now that I had, and have of course, a whole different life beyond the one I let you into. I have always been careful and I was right to be so with you...wasn't I.

There's plenty of snow over in NH so our normal winter activities there are assured. Spending a little time here before moving to our rural retreat near Concord. 'Near' is as near as I will be telling you :)

I found the horoscope you put up quite amusing - it pretty much reflects my reaction to your behavior, back pre-2006. Betrayed, yes I was. Taken advantage of - yes I was, again. An immediate change in how I felt toward you. You bet!!

You really messed up didn't you. I was reading something that I think you wrote in 2004 where you said you wanted to travel the world with me - a birthday card, I think it was written on. You never got there did you and yet I have traveled the world...without you.

2014 is the year you supposedly retire. Not sure whether you will or not...but it's academic to me. Not so you. I figure with my knowledge of your affairs (monetary ones - not the romantic (?) ones) that if you do it will be fairly tough until you inherit. What provision has he made for you? I am sure you realize that he isn't going to make 'old bones' with his unhealthy life style.

We are going into 2014 in style. New Aston in the UK, new boat in Florida and quite a few trips lined up. You once said would we have enough to live on...and that was after you left. You should have done what your heart said, not your head...nor your impulsive decisions. Do you realize that I could give you $30m and not really notice. You have no idea what you passed up on...no idea at all.

The UK Aston appear on my profile page...I put it there for you to see.

My whole life style is one of quite a high level of luxury although we love coming up here to NH to enjoy the rural life and , at this time of the year, the snow. After all I was brought up in the countryside, albeit, the UK.

I guess your life isn't greatly changed from what it was like back in 2005. Not really any further forward...just static for the last 8 years. As you reflect on the years since you kicked C out, think and dream on what you could have had if you had stayed loyal and didn't seek your own self gratification all the time.

Indirectly, you try to convince me that your life is great, but I know, and so do you, that it isn't.

Wish you well in your small life in 2014. We are going to be largely preoccupied into the New Year for a few days.

Ciao...O Foolish One!    

Here's something to remind you of what might have been...if you can recall where it is:
