Sassie,
Absolutely possible enough.  After missing one, I can’t wait to meet again.

Hiya Brett,

Good morning kid!

Good morning! 
Been at it for a couple hours, already busy as hell

Sassie,
How are you doing?  Adjusting to the evening light?  
It looks like I may have opportunities for a meeting either next Monday or Wednesday.  It’s been a while and I hope at least one of those days are good for you.

Re: Next chance
Hiya Brett! 
Great to hear from you!  Hope life is treating you well.  The light is lovely.  The switched sleep and meal times, not so much, but I should adjust soon.  
Yay for opportunities!  Monday works for me.  Wednesday won’t – Hubby has a dr’s appt on Wednesday afternoon so he’ll be in Boston with the car when I would need to leave.  Is Monday possible enough for me to make a hotel reservation?  We could cancel it before 4 pm Sunday if things fall through.  
Hugs with groping!

An invitation

March 15, 2016 Tuesday

5:42AM Phil
Good morning! Off to the races. Have a terrific day!
7:35AM Sassy
Good morning kid! stay high and dry.

7:44AM Sassy
Here’s another link with 8 “this or that” meme.  
My favorite is the “Parrot or guacamole?”


11:12AM Phil
This weather sucks!  I have evening time and have some extra time in Boston Friday before flying out so perhaps some chowda or lobsta if we can make it work. Our schedule pretty much sucks
11:57AM Sassy
I keep thinking… At least it’s not snow!  

Friday sounds fantastic!. Please give me an estimated time when you can so I can plan with Hubby to get the car etc.  I can take off work or meet you after… so excited to see you!  I know a spot with 50 cent oysters.  : ) 
Or any evening… whatever works for you.  I could pop up and meet you for dinner.
12:02PM Phil
I have zero transportation so outside of cab range I’m stuck.  Have an 8 o’clock flight but we will leave here around 2 so leaves a couple hours at least. What ever works best
12:15PM Sassy
I can pick you up, whatever works.
Are you in a hotel or behind the gate?
Or I could get you at Logan?
12:32PM Phil
We stay on the base. We will likely try to find someplace to park downtown before we head to the airport. Don’t know if there is food closer to the airport or not. I have yet to have a Lobster. Had fried stuff last night, did not like it. They do lobster night at the club on base Thursday so we are all planning to do that.
12:45PM Sassy
So not tonight or tomorrow down there?  If Friday, around 3ish or later?  You could ping when you leave the base and get to Boston and ditch them?  Sorry for all the questions…just trying to figure out how to make it easiest for you.  
4:23PM Phil
I have no plans for tomorrow but am trying to make this easy. It’s a hoof up here and back. Wed is the only evening I have available and we generally knock off about sixish so up to you. We can grab a bite in Boston Friday or maybe something tomorrow but that involves a lot of driving for you
4:45PM Sassy
Thanks kid.  Here’s my theory.  It’s not that far, and driving down tomorrow would get us more time?  I can get a reservation for 6:30 or 7 pm, have nice lobster.  and if you like, I’ll get a room at that Holiday Inn for dessert.  Does that sound good?  Tell me where to pick you up?  or get yourself to the hotel?

8:28PM Phil
Finally done : (

I am just pooped and I have another couple hours of reading to do. We are gonna be just as late tomorrow. I would just fall asleep in my lobster tonight, my brain hurts. 
8:32PM Sassy
Awww…so sorry to hear that.

8:45PM Phil
Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s hard, way too much to do here but no reason we can’t grab a bite and spend some time Friday!  After 14 hours I just don’t have much left. Guess I’m getting old.
Our boss is on a toot being a pain in everyone’s ass
8:50PM Sassy
Seems like as a civilian, you could be 8 hrs and out
No chance you can beg off to see an old friend you haven’t seen in 4.5 years?
9:02 PM Sassy
Good thing you don’t need the Metro tomorrow

9:15PM Phil
Seems that way but we routinely work 12 hour days and on weekends.  All ex military guys who don’t know anything different. I lead the team so I can’t bag on them. We get done when we get done
No shit. Everyone is taking the day off

9:17PM Sassy
Friday it is then.  
Have a good evening!  Hope you can sleep soon.

9:20PM Sassy

We have an Iditarod winner!  Dallas does it again! With his Dad coming in second again. Whee!

Sloths or Pasty?

March 14, 2016 Monday
7:11AM Phil
Good morning! Hope your day is great. 
We have been at Max Fail since about 7 last night.
7:45AM Sassy
Wow. Good morning!
7:50AM Phil
These things are busy and my boss is being a jackass which just adds to the fun
7:53AM Sassy
So sorry to hear that.  I know how that makes things sucky
7:59AM Phil
It’s ok. We just work around him.  : ) 

8:03AM Sassy
My boss keeps disappearing… telling the people in the other office he is here and telling us he is over there.  Not sure if he is up to something or just absent-minded.  Thinking about reporting it to his boss… but that’s always tricky.  Last time I spoke up about a boss, she quit the next week.  Could that happen twice?  Wonder if that means I should’ve spoken up earlier, or waited a little longer so I wouldn’t have to?

8:13AM Phil
Be careful.

1:13AM Sassy
Sloths or pain de raisin?

Canadian PM delight

March 13, 2016 Sunday
3:59PM Sassy
Time for a project meeting!

4:24PM Phil
Hey lady! Gorgeous New England weather
[he posted photos of the harbor front in a city north of me]
4:35PM Sassy
indeed

======

Once again, he traveled to my area without telling me his when he was arriving and not planning a time to see me.  Ugh.  He flew into Boston, so close to me.  Then drove north without a word.  It makes me wonder… *sigh

And I am left pondering whether to wait for an invitation or ask him.  *sigh 

========

5:22PM Sassy
Beautiful blue springs flowers!

5:23PM Sassy
A delightful daffodil!

6:00PM Sassy
At KFC getting a Chicken Little!  

6:03PM Sassy
at Taco Bell picking up cinnabon delights and tacos for Hubby

6:45PM Sassy
mmmm….mmmm…mmmmmmm

9:06AM Sassy
Good morning kid
9:45AM Phil
Good morning!
9:46AM Sassy
You having fun?
9:47AM Phil
Off to the countryside
9:49AM Sassy
I’m shocked. : )
And you’ll be stunned to hear I’m doing project stuff and seeing Mom.
9:53AM Phil
Ha! Just a ride in the country.  Wife likes it. 

Ah yes

10:04AM Sassy
We do what we do!
Enjoy!
10:15AM Phil
You too!
10:37AM Sassy
Came this morning thinking of you licking me on your balcony
Ponder that as you sip
10:41AM Phil
Well you’re welcome!

3:58PM Sassy
Mom sends you her best Saturday smile!

4:14PM Sassy
WTF? I can’t even… What is the world coming to that even the mushers in the Alaskan wilderness and their dogs aren’t safe? Poor doggies…p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #1d2129; -webkit-text-stroke: #1d2129} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

Bizarre warmth

March 9, 2016 Wednesday

12:42pm Sassy
Let the record show that it was 70 degrees and I was sitting outside on a bench in JFK Park along the Charles River in my shirt sleeves on March 9! So bizarre. Whee!

2:51PM Sassy
Nothing like a black forest ham sandwich from Darwin’s!

5:54PM Sassy
Picking up supper from a hidden gem.  Their buffalo chicken tenders… mmmm.
