Good Times... For those of you that "check up" on me via my website to see how I'm doing, I wanted to let you know that I'm starting to get a smile back on my face... I forget to post when I'm happy, so it would appear from my blog that I'm always down in the dumps...

The last few weeks have been busy and fun. We had our BBQ on Chrys's birthday and it was great fun... The only really sad moment for me was when I realized that it was about the time after dinner that we normally would have brought out a birthday cake for Chrys and we would have sang "Happy Birthday". But I found that a quick cry in the bathroom, and 2 strawberry daiquiris helped the sadness pass, and I was back to enjoying the rest of the day hanging out with our friends... Thanks to everyone who came, thanks to Matt for cooking, thanks to Kent for helping me set-up and clean up, and thanks to Orida and the Delongi deep fryer for helping make the best French fries ever!

The next week Jay (formally known as Jason) from Phoenix visited with his roommate Tom - just in time for Gay Pride week... It's always a blast when Jay is in town... And we shared lots of laughs through the gay pride weekend!

The day after Jay and Tom left, good old Gordon came to town and stayed with me... Gordon is a rock-star who knows EVERYBODY... It's always fun to hang out with Gordon, because (1) he's fabulous, and (2) I just know that I get to meet a dozen new fabulous people. This visit was no exception... I met a few great friends and look forward to getting together with them for drinks in the near future...

Gordon and I loaded up the car and drove down to LA with Alex & Dory for the 4th of July weekend... It should be a good time - as always...

(pictures for all of the above forthcoming soon).

I miss my baby with all my heart, but I know that he would be happy that I'm getting out and trying to enjoy life again with the help of my good friends...  ¶ Saturday, July 01, 2006
