Heart Beats

Courtly love is a practice among the nobility that developed from around the time of the First Crusade. It began in the courts of Aquitaine,Provence,Champagne and Burgundy. It was a way of expressing love and admiration outside of marriage and was promoted by the troubadors who exalted this ideal.

The lady was wooed under strict etiquette rules and a knight might wear the colors of his lady or carry a token from her. Sometimes men would fall in love with distant women they had never seen after hearing them described. (Maybe this was a precursor to online dating, who knows).

Check out the tune under Chivalrous Love (Castle of Arthur album) on this page to get the flavor of the era.

Hello. My name is Parker and you see I am a rabbit

My species sometimes takes a bad rap for overmultiplying.
We are talked about in math classes to show how South Australia was once overrun with rabbits.
When there aren't predators to eat us and when we have enough resources and we don't die quickly.our population can follow an exponential growth model. (A complete story with the equations about bunny love is available in PDF format on The Tale of 2 Rabbits.)

I myself am monogamous and have a girffriend named Lucia. She is a rabbit, of course. I see her only by long distance commuting so I personally am not going to be a population bomb and have 722 descendants in a mere two years. I am a bachelor and am busy providing for my employees. I have my own page describing my CEO activities on The Naming of the Animals. I talk at length(in fact, I never shut up!) about all my animal employees - with fur and feathers and fins.

I listen to the Muskrat Love Song and when I have trouble relaxing I play the hip-hop

Parker says his animal spirits rise whenever she meets him in baggage claim after his flight from LAX to PDX. Lucia (after the hotel nearby of the same name) will tell you that 'dating Parker is the closest thing to being a Cinderella'. (My god! Is that Sees upon her face?)
