Another day, another Facebook quiz.  “What song best sums you up?”
http://bitecharge.com/play/songsum/h6

I got “Hey Jude.”  Na na na nanna na na

“You’re a smart, cultured, unconventional individual, but you’re also humble.  You’re highly respected in your circle and people genuinely love you for your quirks and all. You can be very playful but your brain is full of knowledge and wit.  You’re fascinating…”  
Like to believe all that!   

11:09 am
We strolled over to the hotel next door for a look around before we head to the airport. Please send all traveling mercies my way!

 Pool and view of the ocean.  Going to miss those palm trees!

That first hug

Hello From Chilly Boston!
Hi Sassy,
I feel like there is something missing in my life today. 🙂
I hope you are out having fun today. Maybe you are trying to figure out how to stay there?  I certainly would!
It occurred to me that your lust for life is even greater than, er, your lust. I think I understand the reasons why.
Smooch!

Hiya!  Sorry today got away from me.  Nice to be missed but I didn’t mean for you to do it. 
What did you do today?  All business?  I hope you stayed warm – my Facebook feed is full of people talking about low temps and thermal tights and ice damns.  Makes it very tough to think of going home.  But I am ready to be home, other than that.  You provide a powerful incentive to return.  Please let me get home uneventfully.  
My esteemed traveling companions went off on another excursion – to Tulum and Xel-ha – and I stayed in the hotel.  I ended up sleeping late, doing some work on the payroll, going to lunch at the beach and then falling asleep!  Tough duty but someone had to do it.  I did think of you.  Your hands… your mouth… mmm.   I look around this hotel room and wonder if I will see you in a hotel room sometime and what we will do.  
Any big plans for the weekend?  I was hoping for low key room service with my niece but we’re going out again tonight at my niece’s request.  She likes dinner with a show.  Heh.  I am flying tomorrow.  Sunday there’s a birthday lunch for one of my project peeps.  Remind me to tell you about my work and fun on a community project. 
Let’s think about a hug.  A long hug.  Holding on.  Breathing each other in.  To anyone looking, it seems like old friends meeting after a long time, but it is the first time.  The long-awaited culmination of a long process of searching, an intimate conversation and a trust building to the point of reality.  That first hug.  So simple yet so so important.  Mmmm…
Keep misbehaving J.

Re: Hello From Chilly Boston!
Hi Sassy,
Wonderful to hear from you!
First of all, soak up these Halcyon days with your niece. I still remember sitting on a deck at in Maine maybe 44 years ago. Eating cereal outside, watching the seals on the water. Mostly I remember the people I loved that are now long passed. None of us knew that would be our last summer together. I really do not mean to sound melancholic. I don’t know what I would do without those memories!
That first hug… will we really appear to be relatives or friends that have not seen each other? If somebody shouts “get a room” I am sure it will be due to my eagerness!
I believe you will see snow falling tomorrow in Boston. Brace yourself for the cold!
Today I did some office work and chores around the house. The wind has been very destructive, but I think the worst is behind us now.
This weekend we are moving some furniture around in the bedrooms. Wifey is moving into the master bedroom and I am moving into the bedroom that is now my office. With any luck I’ll be fully settled in my room next week. I can’t wait!
I’d love to hear more about your project.  
Safe travel and sweet dreams. I look forward to seeing you when you are settled in.
I will do my level best to keep my hands above the sheets tonight.
Yours,
-Jim

Hiya Jim!  I opened your message at dinner and my sister asked, “Why are you grinning like THAT?”  I closed it to read later, afraid of what my face would show.  I am not the great poker player.  
Ah yes… the memories.  I am storing them away by the bucketful.  The ones from 30 years ago have kept me warm on some very cold New England nights – it is wonderful to have a new set.  Though I didn’t have a foursome this time.  Heh.  
I sense so many stories between the lines of your message tonight. I want to hear them but I want to see your face, hearing your breathing when I do.  I am bursting to ask… but will wait. 
I abide by the “nothing in public” rule vis a vis PDA’s.  Except when I don’t.  Heh  
Let’s hope I can get the in-flight wifi working tomorrow and send you my salacious thoughts.  I am trying to hold off the “what ifs” of tomorrow and just help my sister deal with whatever befalls us as it occurs, but it is tough.  We have heard so many bad travel stories this month – people stuck in L.A. for four days, or having to drive home from Newark or NYC in the snow, missed flight and cruise connections.  I don’t want to add to that pile!  We do have a direct flight, which may help.  I am trying to bundle up the sunshine and bring some home for us all!  
We don’t have to be sneaky if you go with me to a project event.  Imagine that!  I have never gotten an AM man to one, but people are very open about greeting my friends and not very inquisitive.  My cheating pals are terrified, “How do you introduce him?  How do you say you met?”  Here’s what I do.  “This is my friend Jim.”  That seems to cover it.  My mother met my last beau.  She invited him to lunch!  And told him secrets about me while I was in the bathroom!  We were always a family that “brought home strays” so everyone is used to random extra people at lunch.  They enjoy getting to know people.  She asked him how we met.  He said, “Online.”  My friends ask, “Does she know about you two?”  I don’t know.  Sometimes I think she must know, must see how we look at each other.  And in another way, I am the good girl, such things are simply not done, so it might not even occur to her.  
My sister talks about “my shirt”, i.e. the way people see me.  She thinks my shirt says, “Talk to me and I’ll make it better.”  Her shirt says, “Fuck you.”  Heh.  I wonder what your shirt says?  Perhaps… “Smarter than you.”  Or something I can’t see without seeing you. 
Why do you not demand photos like every other man?  It is refreshing.  
What is your favorite dessert? 
Please don’t bottle up your sexual urges.  Get into a pattern of letting them out!  I hope to you will pitch them at me… and I will catch them and fling them back (in honor of spring training starting today!)

Re: Happy New Year!
Hi Sassy,
How was dinner?
What an elegant place. The strip steak with roasted vegetables looks really good. Your sister must have been in heaven!
Please look at Sabor Brazil:
http://m.yelp.com/biz/sabor-brasil-nashua
Sabor is way down market, but a legitimate working class Brazilian restaurant. The coffee and flan is to die for. We won’t see anyone from your book club, but the chef owner is really nice. I know you will love the pricing!
How do you know what I need before I do? Your paragraph about cuddling through the afterglow and baring my soul is all I thought about last night. This may be the most intense thing that you have proposed to me so far. Am I the same as other men? Do we all secretly need a Sassy after glow?
I have a meeting this morning, and I have a bunch workers whom I need to round up for a little talk. Did I mention how I feel about workers not working?
I upgraded my phone to Android Lollipop. That cut into my Sassy time this morning 🙁
Sassy, do you like lollipops?
Have a great day!
Mmmmwhaaaa…grrrrr!
😉

Re: connection
I have a moment before my meeting so I will be brief.
With regards to education each of your guesses deserve partial credit. My education is incomplete by current standards. I never liked school because it interferes with my thinking. Same goes for the career. This is the simple white washed version of the story for public consumption. My colleagues wonder where my insights come from. That is the answer that I gave for example. The truth of the matter is far more complicated.
I came to the world through an unseen door. My approach to all things follows that simple model. I need a novel mental construct to understand who I am. I am not very powerful, yet I cut the Gordian Knot for many powerful people. I give myself freely with little expectation for reward. An actor acts for free for the joy of acting. He must do this whether he waits tables, or not.
I started a topic that I have no time to finish. My apologies.
I wish I could have somehow met you in the 1990’s. I believe you are the Eminence Grise  that is missing in my life. My guess is your parochial minded husband owes whatever success he enjoys to your support.
I must go.
Yours,
Jim

Hiya Jim!  
Dinner was mediocre.  I listened to my sister read “Anne of Green Gables” to my niece.  I’ve never read it – fun to hear the original.  It’s much funnier than I remember from the TV version – very droll humor. 
You are so much fun to explore and you inspire me to write special things. It’s fine to talk about what happens when you read it.  I bet you are used to hiding your sexiness, considering it impolite, but I am not like that.  It’s a natural part of life and can be very fun.  And the tempting, teasing, talking… make it even more so!  Be yourself.  Relax.  Say what you like.  Ask what you want to know.  I appreciate your finesse, your humor, your vocabulary!  
I wish I could try champagne… or wine, or cough syrup! Anything with alcohol makes me  feel like someone is trying to squeeze my eyes together and then about 20 minutes later I vomit.  Very sad.  What is your drink of choice?  Scotch?  Bourbon?  Red wine?  Beer?  I usually order iced tea, though this week I am drinking a wondrous thing called limonada, a fizzy lemonade that is perfect for a hot afternoon.  
I’ve had to be the good girl most of this week, so thank you very much for giving me a reason to sneak away into Sassyland now and then.  The things we’re doing here are a bit surreal to me, too.  I am just following along on my sister’s plan.  
Why is it uncanny that I mentioned a massage that morphs into more? 
Do you listen to music?  Are you a concert-goer?  Want to tell me your favorites?  I listen infrequently, and like artists no one has heard of.  My favorite radio programs are WERS’ Standing Room Only that plays Broadway Show tunes, and their a cappella program.  I also adore folk musicians like David Wilcox, Cheryl Wheeler and John Gorka.  But I listen to a wide range of music from classical to country to current hits.  I like things I can sing along with.  Do you sing?  I was a first soprano in high school, a second soprano in Glee Club in college, then an alto in the church choir.  I wonder if I live long enough whether I can be a tenor or a bass? 🙂 
Where is your favorite place to vacation?  Are you off to your 2nd home?  Europe? I traveled a lot before I married… tough to pick a favorite.  Colorado Springs?  St Thomas/St John maybe… or San Francisco.  London!  Hubby and I take day trips.  Lake Winnipesaukee has been good to me the past couple of summers.  
I hope not to be a burden for you, but to help you carry the load you’ve been shouldering, give you some respite, an ear, my insights, some relief, passion, release… please, oh please let the chemistry on the screen transfer to real time!   
Today’s plan, if you want to follow along:  
8:30 am  Buffet breakfast in the hotel with my esteemed traveling companions 
11:00 am Massage with oils
1:00 pm Into City for lunch at a dive called Mi Ranchito 
2:30 pm stroll around the Mercado 28, a series of stalls with things tourists might buy
4:00 pm back to the hotel for siesta and then dinner out somewhere… need to help Sis figure that out. 
7:00 pm dinner 
Hope you have a good Thursday!  I will be thinking of you.  Salacious thoughts!  Something about your belt buckle and a zipper and… mmmm.  Mwah!

Re: Happy New Year!
My dear, Sassy!
I love the imagery that you create for me towards the end of each email. I have no words to describe the feelings that you stir in me. I will do my best.
You are…inside me. For several days I have carried you not in my hands, but in my mind, and the core of my body. Your presence affects my behavior and attitude. I like it. I really like it, but I failed to elucidate.
By now the massage is nearly finished. I suppose you could force him to take you with your wicked wiles. He has no say in the matter as you gently project your will.
Uncanny. I could not hide anything from you, and I actually do know that you are two steps ahead of me at all times. I can perceive body issues and other fears in an intuitive way. My solution is to make one comfortable and a little aroused with a back massage. With some patience I roll her over to work the front. When I finish the legs, I slide my hands up onto her thighs while I simultaneously  lower my mouth to her nether world. I gently and deliberately draw an orgasm from her. Some cry, some run out of the room. After that the body issue is resolved. I suspect that you and I do not need to resort to trickery. We will simply do this for the fun of it.
Will we have chemistry in real time? I love this question the most. I do not experience time the way normal people do. I do not have words to explain this fact either. I promise to try when we are together, my head on your bare shoulder…
I have an illustration that I think will put you at ease. You must open your mind as if I need to tell you that. If we meet in person and you turn out to be a pre-op transgender man I will happily give you the rim job of a lifetime, and allow you to take me any way you want, as much as you want. Do you understand, Sassy?
I fear it is I that may burden you. I want to join your stable of men. I wish to earn the position of your favorite horse. Imagine that.
I am going to travel for business soon to bend a certain reality to my favor. It is all business but I leave it to you to turn that into something more if possible. This trip will happen in mid- April.
I like iced tea. I try to avoid alcohol for my good health, but I did get into a case of Francis Ford Coppola Directors Cut Sonoma County Pino Noir last night.
I do like an occasional good Scotch.
I love music of all kinds, but my car radio is tuned to NPR and CBC radio only. Of course I also like WBUR.

Hiya Jim!  
“Nap time” for me again.  So here I am with more imagery, jokes and travelogue laced with innuendo. Thank you very much for responding… and explaining.  So so good.  It sounds like I have enchanted you!  If I can “own your mind” then melding our bodies should be easy. 
The massage was marvelous!  I’ve never had oils before.  It was a lovely little woman you could not imagine could pummel as she does.  She said, “Let me pamper you!”  Okay!  
Wow… your description of your solution to body issues had me squirming in my seat… in a very good way.  I will admit that oral sex is sometimes better than vaginal for me.  I used to think I was a g-spot gal, but with recent experimentation with new toys, turns out I am actually a clit gal!  Whee!  
I am a long way from a trans gal but I appreciate your meaning.  Thank you.  
You want to join my mentourage?  I do keep a stable online but you could be the one who touches me?  My mind can split many ways but my body is for one at a time!  
Are you dreaming about a traveling companion?  I am honored.  We’ll see!  I could carry your briefcase and make your early mornings and evenings more interesting.  
Do you like Highland or Lowland scotches?  Philip is a Highland scotch drinker – Glenmorangie and Lagavulin.  One of the things he taught me.  
Ah… a news listener.  I have WBZ in the car until Hubby gets in, so I don’t get all my news from Facebook.  Do you watch TV?  I don’t have it on at all these days except to catch Downtown Abbey, and end up seeing “Doctor Who” with Hubby now and then.  
Sabur looks fun!  We have a lot of Brazilians and Azoreans in our neighborhood, but I don’t get out to eat at their places much. 
I had to go look up Eminence Grise.  Wow.  It applies in some ways.  Many women might balk at being your gray advisor, but it sounds wonderful to me.  I have learned a lot and am happy to pass it on.  You have many great years left – it is not too late to be Cardinal.  Or something.  I do like the background role.  Did you see the movie “Gosford Park” where Helen Mirren’s character explains how it is her job to anticipate what the upstairs people need, sometimes before they realize it?  That rings very true in my job, my family life and my “double life.”  
Hubby would be dead if not for me.  He tried to kill himself several times before he met me online.  I promised to keep him alive and I have.  I got him access to health care and a safe place to live, and gave him space to create and fulfill his dreams.  
We had an interesting afternoon visiting the restaurant we liked 30 years ago.  It’s not the same, but passable.  Then we wandered around the flea market.  An enterprising silver shop owner seated us in her store, asked us what we were looking for then sent her man to run all over the market looking for it!  I ended up with a pretty fridge magnet for $1, and 3 big t-shirts for Hubby.  I wanted something for the folks in the office but did not find the right thing. Maybe at the airport. We try to bring back something that typifies where we went, to share when we return.  
I’d better get dressed for dinner – we’re off to the Peruvian restaurant, Lima 12 05.  It’s supposed to have a great view of the lagoon and different food we can’t find at home.  
I do like to leave you with something to brighten your evening… something no one else tells you. As I learn more about you, I can fine tune.  For now I am tossing out ideas to see if they enhance our interaction.  Tonight you might imagine us standing facing a mirror.  You are in front, and I am behind you.  I play and you watch the reflection.  I might nibble on your neck, or do interesting things with my hands?  Mmmm… 
Have a lovely evening Jim.  Try to misbehave!

Re: Happy New Year!
Oh, Sassy.
I am flush, and breathing very deeply. That felt very nice!
I am pleased that you wish to have me in person. I want to be the one that touches you. I want to worship you. I want to show my affection for you. I even want to be vulnerable to you and rejoice in knowing that I am safe with you.
Oral sex is the absolute best form of sex. It is the pan ultimate act of acceptance. No other physical connection involves such a level of trust and openess. I feel very sorry for those who do not understand this.  Ecstasy. Rapture. Transcendence. Could there ever be anything more than this??
As for coitus, often a right, proper pounding is called for. I have a secret. I like to please you orally, and when I’m really turned on I penetrate you to the moment of my release. I then resume pleasuring you. This continues for as long as it takes, but you will always release first. My pleasure is secondary to yours. Don’t worry about me, I will add myself to you in one glorious moment of pleasure. I want to be your addiction.
I don’t think I want you to go on my next trip. It really isnt safe. My trip will be short but I could be away from home for an overnight….or two before or after. 🙂  A vacation with you would be grand if we could pull it off.
I like The Glenlivet Nadurra. This is available at Marriott, my preferred hotel brand. I avoid cigars now. I understand the shops push Scotchs through education. I would like to try a scotch from Nova Scotia some time. Phillip is cool.
I envy no one, yet I find myself wanting to be Phillip. I wonder what it feels like to be loved the way that you love Phillip. He is a very fortunate man.
I must go now. I will send another email in the morning. I want to ask you about the rest of today’s email.
Sweet dreams. Feel my breath on the small of your back.
Yours,
Jim

HI Sassy,
I know you will return from Mexico soon so I want to prepare for our first rendevous. Take all the time you need to settle and get caught up…but I hope to meet you soon!
I will see my Chinese lady to smooth my digits for our activities. The problem I have is body hair. Would it be too much to ask you to shave my cock and balls to your liking? You may also shave anywhere that you want. Is that okay?

Hi Sassy,
I wanted to come back to you to respond to the second half of your message.
I watched DA, and Dr.Who (going back to black and white on PBS) I also loved the wisdom of Douglas Adams may he rest in peace. So, yes…let’s watch tv!
I like to eat…and yes I am softer around the middle than I would like to be! I think the extra testosterone made me just a bit leaner this week. It’s a start!
Breakfast would be nice. I would love to squeeze some orange juice for you. I hope to share lots of intimate meals with you.
I understand the husband enigma now. You are an Angel.
I like Helen Mirren. I would love to see Gosford Park.
See, I am not always so intense 😉

Well hello there.  I too hope to see your smiling face soon.  My brain can’t quite grasp being home yet, but I will soon enough.  You are so sweet to start prepping already!  We are getting down to brass tacks now, eh? 
I will help you however I can but what if I say I like a man with hair there?  It seems natural, something for me to play with.  I see a lot of shaved men in p0rn and it hits me as pre-pubescent.  
I lost all my hair during chemo… everywhere.  And it has come back thin and soft.   After having it disappear, I don’t have the urge to ever cut it again!  I did shave my legs and underarms to come here… but more I’d rather not. I hope you’ll be okay with that.

I had a leisurely stroll back to my room, perused the huge hotel map and then a lovely shower using the most complicated hotel shower fixture I’ve ever seen!

Our rooms are along the gardens on the lower right, looking out over the wedding gazebo. #22 and the ocean.

 I’ve never been in a shower with no door or curtain. Yes, I got water everywhere. I keep wondering if there is a trick to it I haven’t figured out yet.

You can choose four settings – aimed at your feet, the rain coming from above, and gentle or pounding on the hand set!

12:06pm
Had my first ever massage with oils…mmm.  It was a tiny lady I couldn’t imagine would have the strength but she pummeled me until I was completely relaxed!  

1:51pm

Re: connection
Hey there Sassy girl,
There’s another Sassy deep inside 
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, 
what a change there’d be 
the world would see a new Sassy girl!
That was part of a song by the Seekers from 1966. I realize that my Beatnik comments were bit on the nose as well.  Funny I learned most of my Beatnik lingo from a Dartmouth man, class of 74.  BTW never have relations with a Dartmouth man. That is some nastiness that won’t wash off!
I’m trying to say I am the yummy (I hope!) 49 year old that you expect. I am a freshly minted 49 year old, in fact.
Oh, and I weigh more than my AM weight. I also will never cum in your mouth. Okay, yes I will. Frequently…but I will never grab both sides of your head and pull you onto me in a moment of spectacular, earth shaking ecstasy. Ok, yes I will. Frequently.
I really don’t care how old you are. In fact when you are truly old I’ll visit you in the nursing home to pull your head onto me for a moment of spectacular, earth shaking ecstasy. Wait, did I say that already?
I appreciate your concern about my privacy. I have that very well covered. This will be clear to you when you get to know me better. My rich online presence also dead ends. Even my employer does not know where I actually live.
Last night I had to put the phone down quick and lost my work. Too bad, I had created a really nice email for you! 
MIT was a great guess! Alas, I never walked the hallowed halls of MIT. I do know some folks that did. 
UNH. This I liked the most. I must have spelled something wrong, or misused the possessive form of “your”! I always tell wifey that you can take the boy from the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park from the trailer park boy. A tongue twister, eh?
The gay man in FL. Between your pre-pubescent lady parts, and that sweet mouth of yours you could extract the gay right out of him. Yes, I went there 😉
We need to talk in person to cover the rest.
Have a terrific day in paradise. I wish I were there.

Re: connection
Please read the other message first.
To answer the question about security holes:
I think I know about where you live. You live very near where you work. But not many specifics jump out. From an OPSEC standpoint you are in pretty good shape.  So, if you do want to place me in a love nest that will be fine.
I also want to point out that you are very close with your assessment of me.
I am that fine risotto from a very dark place. I am so flattered that your subconscious mind is exploring me.
I am a good guy…to the extent that I can be hooking up with a godless whore like you.
I am really nice. I saw to that long ago.

So I logged into AM,
I changed my personal ad,

I thought it wasn’t half bad.
So check it out when you have a chance.
Oh, and order a virgin pina colada later, and think of me as you drink it.

You made it! I think you need some time to rest after this vacation. It sounds like lots of fun.
I thought of the screen name quickly when I signed up.
My intent is a juxtaposition two roles in my life. On the one hand I am champion, a “stand up guy” and “solid citizen”. On the other I am horned sheep, courting a paramour.
I am totally comfortable in both roles and never the twain shall meet.

Re: Happy New Year!
Hiya Jim!
How are you tonight?  You were quite frisky this morning!  So fun to read about that! 
I am, in theory, “napping.”  At least that’s what I told my sister.  I’m passing up a trip to the hot tub because I was in three different pools already today!  And I have important email to write to a special NH man.  You intrigue me.  That is a very good thing. 
I was kissed on the cheek by an 8 yr-old sea lion named Michelle (fish breath!) She is very smart!  Then I kissed a manatee on the mouth (her name is Sabrina).  I swam with four of them!  The manatee has the oddest mouth… kind of furry skin mandibles.  They are vegetarians, so we fed them letture.  They eat 20 kilos of lettuce a day!  Then it was time to swim with two dolphins – Madonna and Picasso.  I got to kiss Picasso.  Whee!  They do all sorts of tricks but the waves in their enclosure were battering me, so when my niece complained of being cold, I was eager to take her to the dock and watch my sister and brother-in-law cavort.  They let you swim holding onto the pectoral fins of both dolphins, then ride on their backs with a foot on each one!  We had a lovely lunch under the palapa.
I am going to rest a bit tomorrow and have a massage.  I never get to do that at home, but they have massage therapists on staff at the hotel, and my sister is treating me!  Maybe you can give me my next massage with those big hands?  You might be able to touch places they don’t.   
Your screen name makes perfect sense to me. It is so much better than BigDong69, or Licking4U or so many other tacky or uninspired profile names!  It can be tough leading the “double life” but if it is the only way to touch and be touched?  Totally worth it!
The second best part of finding a paramour (great word!) is that you have someone to talk with now. I am a great listener as well as a story teller.  Imagine being spent after some wet and wild activities, warm and lethargic under the covers with your head on a naked woman’s shoulder, and being able to laugh or sigh or even cry about things you don’t usually share.  That confidante thing can be such a relief!  I don’t judge unless you tell me you are a Yankees fan.  I was raised as one but got over it.  
Ugh… don’t make me keep guessing.  Was it Harvard?  My dad did his military training at Dartmouth in the 40s before going overseas.  He wanted me to go there but it was not my scene.  
Thank you for reassuring me about my secrets and talking about what you think you know about me.  It is odd the very personal things you and I have shared, without sharing the normal things.  Oddly, the biggest clue is something I never mention, but this blasted winter brought it out!  Why do you think I work close to home? 
Gotta run throw on a dress. We’re off to an Argentinian steak house tonight.  Look up LaCapilla if you want to see where we are.  My sister adores beef.  You can think about teasing me at dinner, finding a way under and up and… mmmm… or helping me when I lose a crouton from the caesar salad down my famous cleavage?  Oops!

Hi Sassy,
My muses arrived early this morning so I was in rare form.
We have covered so much ground together. I love our dialogue.
I try to be a gentleman, but I must confess that our talks this week made me secrete enough pre-cum to fill a champagne flute. Do you like champagne??
Thanks for sneaking away to write me. I look forward to your missives with great anticipation.
The things you are doing this week are just surreal to me. It’s fun to live vicariously through you in Mexico!
So funny you mention massage with happy ending. Uncanny.
Oh, a double life. I long for bifurcation. My existence is multifaceted with only a few overlapping roles. I do my best to execute with style and aplomb. There are periods when I must prioritize those things that must never be sorted into a hierarchy of importance. Segue….
My paramour. The paragraph that you wrote about this is the most arousing thing about you. Trust does not come easily for me and yet I trust you.
I would love to sneak into your love nest. Very naughty. How often have I said that this week?
I must go for now…
Yours,

The dolphins enclosures in the distance, the manatees in the middle and the sea lions closest to the camera.  The sea lion we swam with was named Michelle – she’s 8 years old and very smart!  There will be photos of her eventually. They don’t let you take in your camera so they can sell you their photographers’ work.

One last look at the island as we head back to the mainland.

Sassy’s rules to write a profile

Sassy,
Are you saying there is more Sassy to come? I fear I will drown in the deluge, but I can hold my breath for a while. Is that a good thing?
That is a great story about the first boy you kissed. Very romantic.
The young lady I told you about died at 42 years old. I was trying to track her down, but found her obituary.
My pipe question was intended to be a double entendre. I should leave the sexy writing to you ;). They have never frozen over the last 30 plus years. Last night was really cold with very strong winds.
I beat on the pipe for a while and made it squirt. I am really relieved.
I was about ready to give up on AM and consider the $330 an inexpensive tuition for a valuable lesson learned.  My search criteria was full sized and Zaftig, over 5′ 6″ tall. I moved my search distance to 50 miles and that is how I found you. Where you live tells me you are intelligent, educated, and liberal (politics aside perhaps).  Finally, your written profile leaped off the screen and grabbed me. I frantically fired off my first message to you. My hands were actually shaking. Go back and read that message.
I am doing my best not to use you for…..inspiration. I want to save it for your return from Mexico.

Hi Sassy,
I forgot to touch upon my J O B.
I work for a large corporation. My schedule is flexible and I do not report to an office. I have a company car so getting around is not an issue. I spend most of my time between NH and places in northern MA. Sometimes I do overnight travel for work. I am accountable for my time, but I’m often up in the wee ours of the morning working with my European colleagues. The sun never sets on my organization. I can envision daytime fun, lunch or even an occasional overnight.
Have fun. I’m so glad you went to Mexico this week. Still wish you were here though.

Re: connection
Hiya Jim! 
Hope your day is going well and the snow is not slowing you down too much.  Did you get more this morning?  
It is really hot today so we spent a short time at the beach and the pool, then went into town for a lovely lunch by the lagoon under straw huts.  I had the most delicious seafood risotto.  Look up El Fritango Cancun.  I am having a brief siesta before dinner.  
I thought of writing a book about “Philip” finding me.  He said no one would believe it.  Ha! He is the guy every man wants to have a scotch and cigar with, and every woman wants.  
So sad your first girl died so early.  Having survived breast cancer, whenever I hear of a someone dying young, I wonder why I am alive and they’re not.  Maybe someday my second chance will be clearer.  Believe it or not, I went looking for a different old flame from h.s. when Philip found me.  He went to West Point and his trail ended in 1991 in the Gulf War, so I assumed the worst.  Freakishly, two months later he contacted me!  It was like a ghost!  He had health problems that got him tossed from the Army, but he was very much alive.  He talked me through cancer treatment and felt like an angel sent to me just for that!  We still chat now and then but never met again. 
I was going to joke about plumbing!  Mine still works!  But I was not sure and if I made light of you having no heat or water I wasn’t sure I’d ever hear from you again!  If you use the word squirt again… I can not be responsible for what will happen if you decide to meet me!  That was very naughty!  🙂 
AM gouges men.  and tricks them.  I am very sorry about that.  It is awful.  But seems better than the other free services!  How long have you been trying online dating?  You can tell me later whether it was a good idea after you have gotten a Sassy blow job?  I read a lot about philandering, and 50 miles is supposed to be the ideal distance for an affair partner.  Lessens the chances of crossing paths in real life, close enough to drive in an hour or meet in the middle in less, and especially if you search toward a more-populated area, it increases your chances.  Thank goodness you did that!  
Thanks for the stuff about your work.  I sit in an open office with an intern or two, and three colleagues.  I enjoy them.  I have an evil boss who is just back from three months off to adopt a baby.  Our office is in the midst of a renovation and lots of moving around.  I fixed it so she’d have her own office instead of sitting 3 feet from me.  Luckily, the senior staff complained about her, so perhaps some combo of those three factors will mellow her out!  
I am “wicked smart,” educated, and liberal (politically… which we probably should not discuss?) and live where it is common.  Funny that you can tell that.  
Thanks for reading and understanding my profile.  I probably should not admit I only spent about 12 minutes writing it while talking to a gal pal online one rainy night.  I was afraid if I labored over it I’d lose my nerve.  I try to follow these five rules:

  1. be myself, 
  2. be confident, 
  3. nothing negative, 
  4. be specific so I don’t waste a man’s time, and 
  5. make him laugh! 

I didn’t mean to make you shake! Thanks for telling me that… 

Oh, go ahead and be inspired!  I hear the more you get sexy, the more sex you want!  I wish I could be inside your head… seeing what you think about, what revs you up, what sends you over.  Ah well… there’s time and I will have fun figuring it out! 
Gotta run… time to get ready for dinner.  We eat early so the little niece can get to bed at a reasonable hour.  Look up The Crab House Cancun.  😉 
Tomorrow I’m taking a boat ride over to Isla Mujeres.. not sure of my computer access.  Don’t fret if you don’t hear from me until late.  
Take care… nothing can happen to you in the next few days that will keep us from… hugging!  Mwah!

Hi Sassy,
Sounds like another perfect day in paradise!
I love seafood risotto. I’ll be looking up those restaurants for sure.
So you have no fewer than two heavy hitters that are into you to the point of obsession. I feel like I am joining an elite club! Maybe you are what makes them great.
We shall see who makes whom squirt. That was a nice sentence but I think you know who will definitely squirt. I said squirt twice, no, thrice! Come hither my dear!
Thanks for telling me where you went to college.  I had you pegged as a Wellesly girl by our second email, so I was close. I should have known since you love men so much.  Based on what you know so far where do you think I went to school?
No surprise that you are liberal.  I would be very comfortable in your area. 
You are very open with me and at the same time you play your cards close to the vest. Unless your parents were beatniks I don’t think Sassy is your given name. If they were beatniks I can dig it. I turned on, and made that scene baby!   
So here is the reveal for your fun and enjoyment. I am the mystery that is an enigma. My colleagues describe me this way.  [some hints about where he works]. Isn’t this fun?
You now have enough data to get a fix upon my identity. Don’t worry we are sympatico!
Regarding AM, the investment was worth it. Our emails alone are worth at least $500.00. You are so very kind to mention me getting Sassy blow job. I can’t fix a bid to that. Besides, without AM how would I have met you?
Yes, you inspire me. I intend to return every drop of that inspiration to you. Yes, that is sexy indeed. I’ll meet you at the gate at Logan. Look for the man who has had an erection for nearly a week!
I do hope this missive finds you before you drift off to sleep.
Sweet dreams my sweet Sassy.

Hiya Jim!  
Your messages are such a treat!  I smile, I giggle, I sigh and I tingle!  You are a wonderful writer. 
I liked this day best.  There was time to catch my breath.  I like the excursions but I like some time on my own as well. 
Please DO NOT GET CAUGHT.  I have walked that road with an AM man and another pal, and it is NOT FUN.  If you need help to stay safe, say so.  I pay attention to the many ways to hide and delete and browse incognito to protect yourself.  
I had a different risotto tonight at a very fancy restaurant.  It was not nearly as good as the one at lunch at the dive bar down along the lagoon.  There’s a lesson there somewhere. 
You are too funny.  Or very perceptive.  Or both.  Your quip about the heavy hitters was a new insight.  When they first contacted me I was puzzled… things never went far in high school.  Why did they even remember me?  Why didn’t the boy I lost my virginity to get in touch?  The answer seems to be “unfinished business.”  Apparently, a very powerful motive.  I had three men contact me in the space 4 months in 2010.  So odd.  The third was a gay man in FL who had to tell me he was regretting never having sex with a woman and if he ever had, he would’ve wanted me.  But was not wanting to do it now.  Huh. 
You seem pretty great already but if I can boost you up a notch, I am happy to do it! 
Oh my!  Squirting for everyone, I say!  Hee!  Or gushing.  Spurting?  This is going to be fun.  
Wellesley?  HA!  What made you say that?  Am I like other Wellesley alums you know?  I know several women who graduated from there. I am not like them.  They are the intellectuals, the philosophy majors, like my dad.  I was the practical one, the organizer, like my mother.  They can discuss Kant or Hegel or Nietsche.  I wonder where we’re going for dinner and how to split the bill and whether I can find a coupon!  I certainly do like men.  Certain men. 
I was pondering where you went to college… I dare not guess.  There are signs of UNH, MIT, Dartmouth but then I thought somewhere unusual… I sense bits of self-made and other times “old boy network” so very tough to say.  Am I close? 
The name thing is tricky.  My parents were definitely not beatniks.  My first fella “Philip” named this side of me… wondering if I was “the same sassy girl” he remembered.  It helps me in two major ways: 
1) You will think I am crazy but I feel like I have two sides.  There is the good girl – a demure business woman with the office job, an elderly mother and the sexless marriage and bills to pay and… zzzzz.  BORING!  I don’t want to be reminded of all that.   Then there is the Sassy Girl.  She’s fun!  She is the one you want to play with.  It’s like those ads with the devil on one shoulder saying “DO IT!” and the angel on the other side warning about the risk and the mess.  I try to shut her up as much as possible and let Sassy out. 
2) I am protected.  Not so much from you, though there are nasty men out there… but from the wife or the son who sees an email or a text and decides to trace THAT GODLESS WHORE WHO SEDUCED… ahem.  Only thing is… there is no real name.  And a Yahoo account that leads nowhere.  No address.  Only a google voice phone number and a “fake name” and a dead end.  So I hope you will call me Sassy and be happy to be in on the scheme.  If we carry on awhile, I will talk about “real me” in person where no one can find it on your phone or computer!  
If you can figure out who I am, tell me.  I want to plug those holes and only reveal when I am ready!  I am not part of the evil in the world, but you have no way of verifying that.  I’m sorry it has to be that way for now but I have heard too many stories from friends and run into bad situations myself that make me wary.  
I used to be a big-time Googler trying to figure out who I was talking with… but I’ve given it up.  I wait and let things roll along.  If you are an enigma, I will have to send to Bletchley Park for the code.  
Wow… you are so incredibly sweet to say my emails are worth it.  Being valued… wanted… heady stuff that!  I am so enjoying this conversation.  We’ll have to play “how else would we have met” as we get to know each other better.  The small world factor usually means it would have happened… but AM certainly makes it easier, if not exactly easy.  
Meet me at Logan?  Hee!  I have already been fantasizing about that.  Very tempting to see your smiling face, get a hug.  If  there was any chance I could be presentable and scintillating after a long flight, or even guarantee I could be on time, I would totally be up for it!  But alas, I will probably be toast.  
Have I actually been exciting you in a physical way?  I haven’t even been really trying yet.  Okay… maybe with that snippet of erotica.  There is definitely much more to cum!  If you’d like to read more of my sexy stories, let me know. 
Here are two other things I am wondering about:
Are you really 49?  I find that men who put a “9” in their age are usually at least a couple of years older.  It doesn’t matter… just wondering.  It’s good to fudge a little to avoid detection.  I am really 55, until September. 
Where do you stand on guilt issues?  I’ve run into “guilt kings” on AM, though I am never sure if that’s true or their way to let me down easy if they don’t want to continue.  I have none at all.  I feel like I should but I don’t.  
I want to write and write… but I must get to bed.  Breakfast arrives at 7:30 am and I have to be in my swimsuit and packed, ready to head out to the boat before that.  Ugh.  I wish I could just write to you… it is such a great part of my day!
