Thought I would attempt try to post something different.
The link below is to a former caver that received an award at work.
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6538770135837130752
She was active in GHG around 1996 or 1997. She was from Spain and had
allegedly done some caving in England back in the 80s.
I took her to the three Langtry caves with Chris Hall, and she was
awesome. And she and I and a GHG old-timer, Harry Walker, spent a week in
the Rockies attempting three tiny 14'ers and some rafting, tour cave,
mining museum, and hot-springs, and other fun stuff.
She was a wonderful lady.
The rest of this post is for your eyes only:
Unfortunately, I secretly had a special place in my heart for her, and she
did not know that, We were never more than brief acquaintances. And our
trip to the Rockies ended on a sour note, with none of us speaking to one
another again.
But my future fiancee sensed something fishy was going on and chose to run
her off in a very unexpected rude awful way ( latina jeolous rage ?? ). I
was left in a pickle having no solution except to dump my fiancee. But
mistakenly, I chose to continue dating my fiance even though I knew my
fiancee was evil spirited. ( I just never sensed the other lady felt
anything towards me ). I assume both incidents above are why she lost
interst in caving or socializing with me or maybe even in GHG. I have not
communicated with the wonderful lady in 22 years. But we are connected via
Linkedin. Obviously, she was out of my league. She married a non-caver
shortly after not attending GHG meetings for a while. I am certain she
remained friends with other GHG members who were more active and more
drama-free than I was.
As much as I regret being born, I have a wonderful spoiled teenage
daughter. Last week, she called me a "d*ck," because she has learned of
my unique uncanny ability to get under people's skin. This was about 4
hours after I bought her a $ 400 iPhone.I am not enjoying being a
father of a teenage girl. Is there any thing sweet left of my little
CavePearl ? All she talks about is collecting cartoonish alpacas on some
cloud-based on-line game. She sticks her fingers in her ears when I
mention Linux computers.
P.S. I am super swamped at work, working myself to death, but it will
likely be the Dr. Pepper that puts the nails on the coffin.
