Made it safe and sound

Hey all,

Just wanted to drop a line to say I made it home just a few minutes ago (noonish Wednesday). I will post about my adventure on the homebound trip later, but I have to go to work now.

HUGS,

Mark

Hi Mark, glad you made it home safely!   Spending time with you and getting to know you a little better was wonderful.    I'm still in vacation/travel hell, where you feel really bad and weak until you recover some of the missed sleep...hopefully I can go home a bit early and lie down.

Take care, sweetie.

Love you,

Alan

For those that haven't met him yet, Mark is quite handsome!  It was so nice to get to see you in person.  Like you, I miss Chez Cora for dejeuner (breakfast.)  The waiters are always nice and nice looking (and they don't charge extra for the good looks!)

I got home and ate at the Waffle House.  Good, dependable breakfast food....but it sure as hell ain't Chez Cora!

Thank you, Mark, for the dance at the wedding. It's been years since I danced with anyone.

:)

I'm having a wistful day, remembering the truly golden moments like that one.

Hey Mark... :)

                   It was a distinct pleasure to meet you my good buddy...  Indeed you are as beautiful in person as you are in spirit...   I am pleased to know you have arrived home safely and I look forward to our next meeting.  You're a really nice guy and I think even more of you now that I've actually gotten to wrap my arms around you.  {{{ Big Hug }}}}
