MIXED EMOTIONS . . . What an overused clich I thought to myself as I sat there on the park bench, waiting. It was a beautiful Florida spring day, if such a thing exists. Usually our weather goes directly to summer heat and humidity from the cool winter temperatures, but today was an exception. Most definitely a spring day, and I decided, along with throngs of others milling around the central park area, to simply enjoy it — feeling the warm sun on my skin, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of this tourist destination and simply waiting . . .waiting for HER . . THE ONE . . .

I was ecstatic about being in the Keys with K on a vacation / business trip – I love K – so much – I dont know why she isnt enough for me. Despite that love, I was overwhelmed with guilty pleasure at the prospect of tracking down and meeting HER . . That wonderful little nasty wench who hooked me so uncontrollably to everything L. Well, that is not exactly true. Bette and Tina and Shane and Alice and Dana . . .THEY are the ones who hooked me on everything L. That wicked writer just turned me on to the FAN FIC site – a site I have yet to exorcise from my system.

Mixed emotions engulfed me for sure as I awaited HER arrival. I was actually chasing Chase to this location, a planned rendezvous with yet another FAN FIC fave of mine. Lunch by the water was what we had discussed and I was absolutely giddy with anticipation at the thought of adding Ms. Random Acts to my list of addictive accomplishments.

But unlike my wonderful encounter with the Queen of Mush, the infamous SEAHURST, my luncheon with Chasemenow was not meant to be. The gods of fate had stepped in, or should I say, the husband with a vision, not only stepped in, but he also put his foot down on Chases little getaway. Seems the man in Chases life had some type of premonition, a bad feeling, negative vibes, whatever you want to call it – about her traveling to the Keys. So he asked, begged, then insisted she not go as this time, but rather, delay the excursion until a later date.
