Apollonian Man

Who am I? Oftentimes at 5:00 o'clock in the morning and before I've had a chance to indulge myself in the first cup of cappuccino attendant with an obligatory and exceedingly esculent Nonni biscotti (definitely one of the high points of my day), I stare quizzically at the muzzied reflection in my bathroom mirror and ask the exact same question. But then after stowing the heart paddles and rolling off of the gurney, it all comes flooding back to me in a rush. My princess and baby girl finally makes her way downstairs after sleeping in as she is wont to do and greets me with a smile, unbridled tail wagging and plenty of “baci.” She is the consummate girl. Layla possesses all the qualities I admire and value in her human counterparts; intelligent and reasoned, compassionate and considerate, sensitive and empathetic, loving and affectionate and…..engagingly funny. A relationship's success...each other’s company the only thing necessary for enriching and enhancing their lives and time together. A magical appanage would be for the two to embrace their desipience, never to have lost the spark of a childlike ethos and a fun sense of irony. I am in uncommonly good physical condition, having made daily exercise through body building and aerobics a sine qua non throughout most of my life. It is for that reason that I have the body of an 18 year old. Combined with my innate immaturity, this attractive amalgam makes me a singularly good catch (refer here back to a fun sense of irony.)
