The wanderer returns
« on: September 26, 2007, 03:42:43 pm »
Ah, so this is what jet-lag feels like… ::)

I’m home. And I got me my own delightful case of jet-lag. At least I think its jet-lag. If jet-lag = sheer exhaustion, on and off blurry memory and general disorientation.

Well, I guess after a whirlwind trip of 5 days in San Francisco, 3 days in Las Vegas and 4 days in Arizona (including a 2 day road-trip across the desert) followed by a trip back across the pond, I should just be thankful I’m still functioning, albeit half-cocked.

This is a short post just to say:

AMG was a blast – huge thanks to everyone who made it possible!
Las Vegas was Tacky (with a capital T) but fun.
Arizona was unforgettable – a huge thanks to dear Tim (Moffie) for inviting me on that adventure.

I met some captivating folk, made some lovely new friends, experienced some amazing places, (including one of the wonders of the world close-up) and accumulated no less than 2845 photos. Not a bad catch in 12 days.

I had The Best Time. But I’m glad to be home now, with my kitties and my own bed.

And tomorrow I have my first day of work…yay! One day of supply teaching in a school where the head-teacher knows about my HIV status and is cool with it...double yay! And I have other days booked in for October…so triple yay!

I’ll be back with more words (+ photos) when I’m less all-over-the-place. Just wanted to check in…

Oh…and I’m outing myself here. No, not as a gay man (unfortunately!); I mean with my real name.

In recovery mode but happy. :)

Debra,

So very nice to meet you also, and i'm glad you had a chance to travel around the Southwest after AMG. It's a beautiful part of the country.

Til next year (if not sooner  :D),

Spot on, but this too shall pass.

You do realize that pyramid is fake, don't you?   ;D

I am very happy to have had the opportunity to hang out with you.  You have a kindly, peaceful presence, and even being near you is a very pleasant experience.

I still have your heart (the one you left in SF) and I keep it with me every day.

Until we meet again,
JR

btw:  is that Greek I see in your signature?

It was a special time to meet you and exchange hugs.
I was so tickled to read you referred to Las Vegas as tacky. I agree. Mighty-dollar tacky Vegas.
Wasn't the Grand Canyon fantasitc.

Glad you are home and snuggled up with the cats. purring away.

Debra

Good to hear you made it home safe and sound.  I thought I was exhausted when I got home, but damn girl after reading the itinerary you had, you must REALLY be exhausted.

2800+ pictures?  Yikes!  That should be interesting to see.

Take care of yourself minxy one.  See you around forums town.

Las Vegas was Tacky (with a capital T)

Bit your tongue young lady..I never saw one "Kiss me quick" hat the whole time I was there...now that would have been Tacky... :D

Can't wait to see your photo's...are you planning on posting all 2000+... ;)

Take care and good luck with the new job.

Hugs
