Well........

I'm not much different than I was so I may as well be here, huh?

I'm going on my first vacation of the year at the end of the month, Vegas to see my Dad and nephew whom I haven't seen in five years. The boy is going with me.

We're (me and the boy and the nephew) going to head up to Utah for a couple of days. My nephew wants to see the desert that he knows his father loved. Not much time but I can show him alot in a couple of days.

I'm going to meet a fellow blogger and her husband and I'm excited about that. She's a mountain biking, river running, desert hiking, tent pitching girl who gourmet cooks and drinks vodka and wears a skirt to work. No wonder I'm excited.

This will be the second blogger I will have met.

I hope to meet more.

I'll be closer to California (grin)

And closer to British Columbia (grin)

And closer to Arizona and Oklahoma (still grinning)

Then there is Vegas. Always Vegas.

Someone I care about just moved into her first house. I'm happy for her.

Someone else I care about just got a new job. I'm happy for her.

My son was at least four inches shorter than I just last fall. He now looks me in the eye.

I can still take him.

He just had his first heartbreak. I told him it won't be his last.

I'm dangerous with a camera phone. First time I ever had one.

Getting and sending email from my phone is addictive, damnit.

If you want me to email you a pic (see above) from Vegas, let me know.

I'll consider special requests (see above again).

If you feel more comfortable with text only please specify so.

I told someone that I needed her and it had nothing to do with sex.

Last time I said that to someone was........um.....I'll get back with you on that.

Someone shared their secret blog with me and it's wonderful.

I think that makes about four secret blogs that have been shared with me.

I can keep a secret in case you were wondering.

One person is teasing me by disclosing the existence of a secret blog, yet to be shared.

I read some erotica on literotica and decided many of you are much better at that stuff. Plus, it has that personal touch, ya know?

Why would Rick be insecure? Fucking silly, I tell ya.

Why would SS be insecure? See above.

I don't mean for that to be flippant, I just think they got it goin' on, ya know?

I would like to stamp out insecurity.

You notice if you close your eyes (which makes it difficult to read) Shane can sound like Rick and vice versa? And it's not a copycat thing, they both just write that way.

Remember they started off on the wrong foot?

I, never being one to shy away from a pat on my own back, will take some of the credit for bridging that gap.

Last week I lost someone I really enjoyed talking to.

It's probably fitting that I would return at 5:00 AM.

I sent a couple of really difficult emails yesterday. One made me sad and the other put me farther out there than I'm used to being. I hovered over send on both.

You know that feeling where it's too late to unsend and you wonder if you smashed your computer really fast, would it stop it?..........ack, fuck.
