I've spent the last few days learning about the life and times of this man. I had bookmarked his journal a while back but hadn't read him regularly. After hitting him again a few days ago I saw he was talking about his boyfriend, so I went back into his archives to see how they met (which I always find to be a good story), which led me back to when they dated the first time, which, to make a long story short, means I've read all his enrtries since February 2002. There's something a little odd about that, but then again, I now feel like I know him well even though we've never met. And yes, I've been in touch with him this week and no, he hasn't felt compelled to get a restraining order. Lucky me.

If you just start reading him you'll find him entertaining but if you read all his archives you'll really appreciate the changes in tone over time. Just think of it as reading a book. A very entertaining book. Fortunately his life has been a very tiny bit less fabulous than mine (because mine includes Adrian...and if that isn't sappy enough to make you ill, you have a strong stomach indeed) so at least I'm not reading this and getting jealous.

In other news, I've realized that my YMCA appears to have no members between the ages of 18 and 40. At least, no cute male ones. Kinda makes it not worth taking a shower.

I am so ready to move back to DC. It's just time. More importantly, I'm just ready for all the transition to be over and done with.

We continued with the housework today. The carpet cleaners came today after we had cleared all the stuff off the furniture they weren't going to move anyway. Sigh. After lunch we tackled the yard again, prepping the areas where the five tons (which we scaled back from the original seven tons) of rock will go tomorrow.

Good thing I went out and bought us a wheelbarrow today. Doing that one rock at a time would take a while.
