G'morning @owasco, I hope you are well.
So did you learn any lessons?
Lessons that might keep

Yeah, here are a few:

the older I get, the harder it gets to break someone's heart.
the older I get, the less hormones determine my actions.
the older I get, the easier it is to be happy all on my own.

There are a few fellows I wish I hadn't hurt. I am astonished at how callous I could be back then!!! Horrible. I wonder if Diana feels the same way about you. She sure sounds like a screwed up person though, so maybe not. I would not have done what she did.

You're sweet my friend.
That night when I had had just a bit to drink, and decided to call her and express my feelings (in Vino Veritas, right?), of all the times to do that, it was during her BRIDAL shower, which of course I had NO IDEA, and she acted like she had no idea I was so attracted to her 😢

oy. I wonder if she is still married? Probably not. She had to have been quite young then.

I dunno, I heard that Gleaton (his surname, we all basically called each other by our last names or nicknames) was still kicking, but that has been a few.
That whole episode, me and her, was in like 1977, so....👴
