the age of innocence

I wanted to share with you the early stages of love between a man 65 and a woman 44. That in itself is not so interesting or unique. What is interesting is the man going through it and the transformation which took place. I will call him Ron for the purpose of this. Ron is often tired, often looking for energy, and often looking for a reason to laugh each night. The man is ex-law enforcement and presently security at a resort. He has a twin brother who was also ex law. and also works security here also. Both of them had a small role, playing policeman, in the movie "The Truman Show"(go take a peek at the movie). Both are so identical that, to this day (5 years) I need to pay close attention to tell them apart. Ron's brother has almost the same identical moods and mannerisms that he does.
One day working the late shift, and trying to get enough courage, he goes to the front desk makes small talk to the desk lady and then asks her if she would like to go to a movie with him. She said yes. Two or maybe three weeks go by, and I see Ron in the pastry kitchen leaning on a table doing push ups. Next time I see him, he is at the front desk, leaning on the counter, acting like he is going to do a push-up, but only going halfway, and all the while talking to his new girlfriend. Both laughing and he shuffling his feet, now and t
The interesting thing is his brother began acquiring an upbeat attitude...and no he was not sleeping with her brothers girlfriend. So just for fun, I asked Ron's brother if he felt aroused certain nights of the week...he said no (was I disappointed, there goes my theory).
And just tonight, I am talking with Ron at the security room(he just got in, ready to begin his shift). As I am talking with him, he begins splashing "Brut cologne" all over his face and his hands, back of his neck... so forth. I said to him, "what the hell are you doing"! He says she likes the smell of Brut. I said, looking down "you missed a spot", and he says smiling, she'll find it! I excused myself and went back to my station.laugh
I've never seen a man of 60 plus years and showing it, be transformed 40 years, mentally and some cases physically because of falling in love. Truly he found his youth and his age of innocence.

Sorry!

....shuffling his feet, now and then.
Yeah I don't understand why either. I see people like that too. I had professor 75 or 80 who one semester got a girlfriend. He seemed to have endless enegery, I even saw him jump up on his desk to get a book off the top shelf. He seemed happy like nothing mattered.
Hey Tollens,
yeah, it is a special feeling, like no other. I was happy for him. Sometimes destiny steps in.
Now, if we could bottle it.
