I talked to a friend of mine today that I hadn't talked to in a while, he's a big fan of Reeses peanut butter cups. We used to work together at one time in a warehouse far far away and a long time ago. Not really that far way - but I wish it was, that was a chapter in my life that I wish never happened except for meeting Reeses.

We hit it off when we were working together. He's like a big brother to me, I don't have any brothers, just brothers-in-law. Reeses helped me through some of the lowest points in my life - which involved my ex-bf, here to fore to be known as Butthead.

Reeses is tall, dark, handsome in a chiseled sort of way, artistic, and rides a harley. He's very spiritual, caring, helpful, articulate, and fun. When we worked together our office had us do one of those touchy feely classes that does personality type testing. Reeses turned out to be a very true blue. He's loyal to a fault. He truly is.

When we first got to know each other he was going through a divorce, not too messy, but not good either. He wasn't alone for long and he was 12 steppin it for a while before the divorce. He met another friend of Bill W at a social event, and they got together, eventually getting married in a small wedding. The picture of blissfulness.

I can't say that I ever really had romantic feelings for him at any time - he'd be an excellent partner - but we never really clicked in that direction. I think that we just click on a level of communication that's very comfortable. Long conversations - we could probably talk forever about anything.

His new wife had jealousy issues from the getgo. It wasn't just me either. It was true he confessed to me that she wasn't comfortable with me talking to him. She also had an issue with somebody else at a talent agency that was trying to recruit him for television or movies. Actually you know they both Reeses and his wife ended up in different TV shows as extras in a couple of scenes. I think one show was "Stories of the Highway Patrol" or something. I can't remember the other.

She's also turned out to be somewhat of a hypochondriac too if you ask me - but maybe all of her conditions are in fact true - I don't know. It's been one after another - until it sounds like she's just crippled and bed ridden most days.

Reeses however has stuck by her throughout it all, they've been together about 10 years now (I think). He'll be in debt for the rest of his natural life because he put her up in a nice home, remodeling it to her desire. He's living on a early pension and income from a second career.

Anyhow talking to him today - we really have good conversations about once every month or two on the phone calling each other at work under the guise of work, and catching up with each other. He didn't mention this before, but apparently his wife was on a bad prescription, and they had some really bizarre incidents recently. He's attributed all of her bad behavior to the medication. One of the incidents included accusing him of having a girlfriend. Anyhow he had to take a breather from her for a couple of days - which I'd never heard of from him - he's just so faithful and adoring of her.

Actually a few months ago - I'd heard something in the tone of his voice or maybe it was the words that he used - maybe he's getting tired of this situation with her. I hope they can work it out. Her and I never 'clicked' and I always had a funny feeling about her, but I just have to put it to my own insecurities or possessiveness of my spiritual big brother.

I tell MPH everything about Reeses. I talked to him tonight about it. MPH is familiar with the jealous wife problems - he went through it with his 1st wife. I don't know but I guess I just don't have it in me to be the jealous type. I have felt jealousy at a few times in my life - but very little and very few.

Maybe I'm lucky.
