My Superman!

When I was a child I watched Superman with George Reeve and was in love! Superman forever! I read all the comics.. 




As I grew up, I watched Christopher Reeves as Superman..In love again. 


Then.. Dean Cain became Superman. Oh, my. Loved him! Got a picture signed by him.. 


Started to realize all my superman fantasies were of 35 year old men. I was 10.. I was 21 .. I was 40.. then.. 50. Elizabeth Taylor married 35-40 year old men no matter her age. I am not Elizabeth Taylor. That is actually a really good thing. 


I am in love with my husband.. after all this time, I know... He is my true superman and he is about to turn 67. I say to myself what a wonderful world and well done! 


I must be Lois Lane.
