Writing this now, I’m sitting in Chicago waiting for the last two hours to go by so I can jump the train and head out to the airport for my ride home to LA. The work part of the trip has been excellent. And the play parts excellent too. I’ve learned that I know how to “miss” someone again (see previous post) and learned that I no longer “miss” Chicago as my home. Pride in NYC was awesome, with energy, openness, the embrace of soooo many religious groups, and the meeting of numerous new momentary friends…maybe even a permanent one or two. Seeing Tommy was again was great. He’s become a great NYC host. And seeing PJ was awesome too. I found myself wishing for Rusty to show him around, but that time will come if it’s meant to be. And now I’m ready to go back home to my kitties Quark and Clyde. Overall, a good and productive time.
