Private Occurrences

I almost wrote this post a couple of times today but chickened out each time. I took my sleeping pill about a half-hour ago and sometimes that addles my thinking but I'm going to do it anyway. Hu-humph...Okay, here goes. Today is a very special day in my life. Do you remember the first time you fell in love? Do you remember the exact date? Today, July 29, was the date for me. Long ago, when I was nineteen. I think of B today and tonight, not with longing, or regret, but as the first, and the most unfamiliar and the most intense, all characteristic of First Love. It was the most transcendent experience of my life. I have never forgotten and I will never forget July 29.
