Good morning! 52 and clear. Odd our weather is so different! Gorgeous photos. So, looking at your building, where are you located? Hope you’re having a fabulous Friday!
12:44 pm
Phil: 24 here. Fffffffreezing. I’m in the [a description of the location]. This weather sucks.
1:23 pm
Thanks! Makes me happy to look at the photo and know where you are. Completely quiet here. Not a single appointment on anyone’s calendar, 1 of 6 senior staff in. Leaves me brain free to torture me with… stories. Ha!
5:53 pm TEXT Phil: Off to holiday party
[photo of him in a regular suit and tie!]
TEXT 6:00 pm Wow! Civies!  And a suit!  You look so handsome! Have fun!
1:55am
You’re asleep in your recliner… so peaceful and handsome, tie loosened and dress shirt untucked.  I lean over to undo your tie and you stir, but return to dozing.  I unbutton your shirt until I see your muscled chest and put my hand over your heart.  You smile, open one eye then the other.  You stare at my cleavage and wink.  You pull my hand, and I tumble into the chair.  I nestle close to you.  I’m content to lay there, warm and still in your arms but you have other ideas…                       





Closer examination

Phil: Menu looked great! I love bacon wrapped dogs. Currently laying off anything like that. Trying to eat leaner. Slowly dropping pounds. Down eleven, want to shave off another 20. Too easy to get desk bound and blow off the workout. Getting better about it and the weight is coming down. Hope you have a great day .20 here today. Brrrr
12:07 pm
Good morning! Windy cold 37 and clear. I’ve cut back portions and am making better choices, too. Shared the bacon! The chicken fried bacon and cheese bacon grits? Divine. 

I noticed in yesterday’s photos your face looks trimmer! Hard to tell about your body in the uniform. I’d like to make a closer examination w/o your clothes. Might have to be hands-on…or use my mouth in certain areas. mmmm. Would you like that? I wish I had a bunk at work! 

I have to run a big holiday open house at the office today and asst who usually does the decorating called in sick! Whee! Have an awesome Thursday!



2:48 pm 
Take a look at the cupcakes for the open house!  Some of those are red velvet!

Phil: 29 degrees here but the coffee is hot! Family stuff is calmer.  Talking to the pros.   This is draining. Looking forward to heading to the beach for the holiday though. I like it here but that has become home. May swing through NY on the way home to see the family.  Have a great day!
10:35 am
Good morning! We’ve got the 50 degrees and pouring rain thing, so I am making my own sunshine!
11:14 am
So glad the family stuff is better, and that you have right resources! Remember that I know about this topic.  A supportive family makes a HUGE difference.  It IS draining but so amazing when you see results! Hang in there and whine to me whenever you need to. I will rub your feet and listen.
11:20 am
Did you see the video I posted on my wall yesterday?
It will make you giggle if you have a couple of minutes… 

5:00 pm
Heading out to eat a little bacon! The local bar is having a special bacon night. You’d like that place… lots of beers. Hope you can have a relaxing evening!

6:22 pm
Bad light but here are photos from Baconpalooza!

Blog lessons

Phil: Well good morning to you too. Great football yesterday. Have visiting bigwigs today, always fun. I skipped the Mark Harmon thing. Chose to use the time to hang Christmas lights. The guys tell me he and Gary Sineese were very friendly, ate with them, posed for pictures, the recruits had a blast. Christmas party was great, bigwigs party was extraordinary. Packed house full of local mayors, who’s-who of the military here, very nice affair, the band concert was spectacular and then I got to watch the taped football game. I avoided my phone so I had no idea about the game which made it great fun. 

Got my coffee, did my morning exercises and ready to go for the week. The command Christmas party is Friday and then the Army/Navy game party on Saturday, Christmas Cantata on Sunday. 

Got a family issue.  Gotta do something.  Ah well. Enjoy the day and have a fabulous week!
8:32 am
Good morning! Another oddly warm day in the 50s. Off to work, then the first gathering for a new project.  I’m in charge of snacks and getting them socializing, as about half are new. Have fun w/ the visitors!
8:42 am
What’s up w/ the family?  I’ll pray for a better path soon. Be careful… Tough to balance. If I can help you or them, say so.
1:49 pm
Phil: It is tough.  Hopefully we will figure things out.
2:02 pm
Should have known you’d have a good plan. You are a good man… reminds me of my dad!

2:03 pm
Phil: I try. 🙂
3:39 pm
Two things about reading the blogs…
1) They make me want you more. Didn’t think that was even possible! But the yearning thing is FIERCE today. I have all these new ideas I want to try… with you. And your 1000 miles away. ARRGH!
2) The food analogy – I was starving when you found me. You showed me lobster and steak and lots of amazing meals. I was so satisfied! And now I find out there are ways to make meals even better. Different spices, new combinations – get my drift? I want to try them all…w/ you. Find out what your tastes are.. and…oh, man. Excuse me. I have to go to my bunk!
12:12 am
Oh, what a fun evening! The project meeting was amazing. Such talent in the room! And they really got into it. I enjoyed it. Hope you had a nice evening.

Phil: Yeah that Mark Harmon. Just finished my workout, now for some house cleaning, whip up some food and then off to the bigwig’s for his Holiday open house and to hear the band play their Christmas concert and then football. Gotta tape the games and then have friends coming over to eat and watch. Enjoy your day! 
11:27pm
I have the worst urge to call you!  I am filled with questions about all your fun.  Say more about Mark Harmon?  Was it like he spoke at a big dinner or something smaller?  Did you get to actually talk to him?  What was your impression?  You are so lucky!  How was the football? 
I had a very productive Saturday – met project people, then gas and groceries, cooked a chicken with wild rice stuffing, spinach soufflé, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy!  The evening went to figuring out my new computer and cleaning up the little messes that the transfer over from the dead one made.
12:15am
Today I got a lot of chores done around here and in between?  Well, I got lost in sex blogs. Can’t believe how many there are! Learning a lot.  But Philip? None of them are as hot as you.  I mean it.  They give me ideas that could keep things interesting, but what you write and my memories are much hotter.  I don’t understand the chemistry we have, but the more I read the more I know how rare it is…you are a very special man!

Phil: Good morning.  Enjoying my favorite time of day. Early morning, with Christmas tunes, a hot cup  of coffee, temps in the low 30s, and no one about. Just starts my day off right before the madness begins. Enjoy the day, hope it’s a good one! 
TEXT 7:45 am Phil: Here you go.  Good morning!

Good morning, sweet man.  So lovely to see your smiling face this morning!  Thank you!  Shouldn’t swell your head any further, but it made me .. um… linger in the shower!  Have a fabulous Friday!
2:22pm
Off to Clinton in the wilds of Central MA to take a survey about chemo injection devices.  Hoping it’s worth the $100 they promised me.  Have fun!  Whee! 
6:13pm you’re still cute. <3
9:02pm
Here’s some photos of my adventure.  Nice little New England town!  Great dinner at Olive Garden!  Mmmm… sausages.  🙂

Good morning! 40 and staying there.  Happy December!

See my wall – I added four photos of my hair at the “six months after chemo” stage.  Two new features – I can finally part it and it covers my ears!  
5:18pm
So excited to be going home after being out three nights in a row!  Have a great evening.  

5:45pm
I’m typing on my new MacBook Pro!  Thank goodness my employer pays for hardware! 

This is not me but has many similarities!  
5:49pm
May I see your haircut?  And your smile?
