Well, I told the readers of this blog that I would share bits and pieces from Caught in the Net.  Here is a "bit."  I had went to see Peter in Wisconsin.  I was on cloud nine when I arrived home after our short visit . . .  that was until the email came.   The day after my visit, we had instant messaged and I had shared more about my life.  I was just being sincere and honest.  As they say nowadays, "it is what it is."     Let me share the following paragraph:

     "He wrote me email the next day that basically said that he didn't think it would work out.  I had too much baggage! (I had grown to hate that word.  People our age have baggage!) But I guess, to him any ways, the story of my life wasn't packed neatly in an overnight bag; my life was shoved in Stanley Steamer trunks.  He also felt that after my visit to Wisconsin, I should have been able to have only him in the picture.  He further wrote that I should have willingly given up my "men".  This made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.  How could I give up friends like DCPENN?  It was like he was trying to control me."
