But wantin' ain't gettin'. Sometimes, though, you get what you need. Keep trying. I've had the Great Romance, and then again, the Great Marriage. They didn't work out; one left and one died. There are no guarantees in this mortal life, none. You pays your money and you takes your chances. (Better to try, and fail, than never to have tried at all. At least you lived and loved.)

| There's not many pics of us together. Here we are at Xmas 2010. I'm not really that much taller than M.P. - I'd come in from outside and was still wearing boots, while he was wearing sandals. |
But then 18 years ago today, M.P. and I met for the first time, and we hit it off right from the start. We don't do all that sloppy stuff like you see in these vids. But we think alike, laugh a lot, take care of each other, and we're content with what we have, despite the ups and downs all couples go through. It's enough for us two old boys; it has to be. Call it a Sunday kind of love: comfortable, relaxed, easy-going. And some damn good eatin', I tell you what.
I could tell you some stories of my life and loves - I once proposed on bended knee myself - but it's better you should watch these young'uns start their life together. It's just what I would have liked - a couple of regular guys in cowboy boots and hats getting hitched before a crowd of family and friends, with country music, heading off on the road of life in the prime of youth, in the pink dawn of love. Just as all young lovers should, straight or gay. Sweet. Very sweet.

Bonus: Zach has a deep, sexy voice, but I can't quite place his accent - it's Southern, but not quite Texan. It reminds me of Mark Collie's accent -- my first husband and I saw him in concert more than 30 years ago. Here's a song of his we used to dance to on cowboy night at the gay bar:
