Kat - I think ping-ponging between "serious" and "fun" comes with the territory, whether talking about this or going through it. I like your thoughts on recognizing that romance and sex are different and on being able to figure out which one you should be anticipating. Sometimes that's very hard to do. These thing seem so much clearer in the afterglow. We haven't even mentioned that other bugaboo "love", which is a whole different conversation.

There's a great country song about relighting the old romantic pilot light called "Kissing in the Car" by John Barry. It got some soul to it.

Sorry I can't help you out, Robby, but both Theresa Brewer and Brenda Lee make me break out in hives. And I have to get back to work now. Which is neither sexy nor romantic, but which I do love. Kinda. Sorta. Drat. Have yourselves a wonderful day.
