I Made It

After a ten and a half hour drive last Wednesday, I arrived. What a long day pulling a trailor. But every minute was worth it.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the neighbors. The weather was nice and the wine was flowing.

Batman has been great. I count my blessings every day.

The new job is going well and the people seem really cool so far.

The gym we go to has to be one of the top ten gayest places in the Universe. They should re-name it Daddyland.

Tonight we are going downtown for the Thursday Night Market. This Saturday we'll be back down there for The Festival of Lights Parade. I have Santa hats for the both of us and those little strings of battery powered lights to adorn them, GAY!!! 'Tis the Season!

We started decorating the house last weekend. So far we have wrapped one palm tree in red lights and the balcony out front has a wreath with red lights, plus a green spotlight behind it.

Saying Good-Bye

Last night I was able to meet with and say good-bye to most of my favorite people here in Sacramento. Jimmy and Dixie showed up, as well as TC and Hans, Susan, Rob, Tom, Gary, Johnny and Ron. Vixen came by Thursday night and I may get to see her again for lunch on Tuesday.

I don't know how I have become so fortunate, but I have found myself surrounded by wonderful people in Northern California.

Something has been missing in my life for quite some time. I found it again with Batman. He truly is everything anyone would want in a partner: smart, funny, generous and good looking to name a few of his stellar qualities.

Many people will be missed and some I will probably never see again. But it is time for me to begin this new chapter in my life. I look forward to it with great anticipation!

I Am Palm Springs' Newest Resident

I am so tired. At noon today, I said good-bye to Batman and got in my truck to return to Sacramento. Seven hours and forty-five minutes = 506 miles. Thankfully, I made it down there and back without any problems.

I got the job! J and I are soooo happy! I am doing the drive again on the 22nd. I have plans to spend the holiday in Palm Springs and I will be starting my new job the following Monday.

I am grateful.

Truckin'

Early tomorrow morning, which will be Friday, I am getting in my truck and heading to Palm Springs. I have an interview scheduled for Saturday at 1pm. The prospective employer has been very accomodating.

I really want this job - I know, careful what you ask for!

My truck is loaded with approximately 1/3 of my belongings. It will be about an eight hour drive! I hate driving that long. Hell, I hate driving a fraction of that distance. But, Batman is waiting for me! I am planning on turning around and coming back on Sunday evening, argh!

One other thing about this weekend. It just happens to be "Leather Weekend" in Palm Springs... I'm taking that as a good omen.

Wish me luck.
