Met the wonderful woman who would be my wife in Second Life, back in 2007.

We both had been married before, and meeting every day in SL we talked about what didn't work in our previous marriage, and what we wanted/needed out of a relationship.

After seven months of SL, skype, and video chat we decided to meet in person.

We clicked, and I started visiting her every month (I was in Canada, she in the US - a 4 hour flight).

A year after we met we married, it's been an amazing adventure so far and I am very grateful for having asked her to dance in SL that one day :)

The ability to play with my kids online is what I look forward to.

Second Life.

After three years I'm still amazed at the amount of talent the community can put together.

There is no end to the creative force of its citizens.

My significant other.

A beautiful, creative person. Filled with a love of Life.

Has awakened me from what seems like a 15 years slumber, and made me realize I can still accomplish anything.

(sings)

Just like a Star across my sky,
Just like an Angel off the page.
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same.
Just like a Song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands.
Oh, I do love you.

My balance shifts on a cycle methinks...comes and goes....one month adventurous, the next..seeking comfort.

Having friends and a stable place is (to me) very much needed.
