Good morning! Hope your day is off to a grand start. Another cold morning here… we’ve definitely crossed over toward into cool weather. Certainly was an amazing football day yesterday. I begin to see why you like it so much!
October 18 at 6:35am
What’s up with you today? Driving north? More work on the house? Hope it’s productive, whatever it is.
Phil October 18 at 9:10am
Back in DC. Got a lot to get done. Good weekend. Did that place say Margaritas on it? Looked cool.

October 18 at 12:26pm
Hope you’re making great progress at work. Are you a fan of Mexican food? It did say Margarita’s! Great dinner -10 people. Lots of drink choices. Food was good for a chain. Good guacamole! I had the “Famous Taster” sampler – little chicken burrito, beef taco and cheese enchilada, rice and beans, to get an idea of their different things. All that for $10.99. http://www.margs.com/
Phil October 18 at 12:27pm
Yeah I love Mexican food!

Another in the category of “the universe is out to keep him in my mind…”
The NY Times had a puzzle that was all about you!  See attached.  Seemed easy to me.  The ones I didn’t know filled in from the crosses.  You could probably do it under 5 minutes.  But don’t if you’re busy.  Just thought it would give you a laugh.

Game was a route, Yankees lost, ah well. Did get some work done though. That was a good thing. My boy likes the Titans. I really did not care

Lost weekend

Mid-night musing
Between Phil and You
October 16 at 3:21am
Nodded off about 10 pm… had Thai food from the new place next door. Not fabulous food, but cheap and good. Had that coconut chicken soup. Smiled, thinking of a man in a football jersey shirt tasting it for the first time.
I wish I could help you at home. Pack boxes or make a renter appear like magic… Can you get others to help? I know you’ve helped your neighbors and friends – reach out now? Offer a beer in exchange and share the load.
Maybe I can help in other ways? Listen, tell you a joke, talk about lobster or football. Just be here, in the dark, sending good vibes. Praying. Low-key… but powerful.

Good morning! I hope your day is off to a fabulous start! It’s beautiful here. Sunny and cold… only 46 now and in the 50’s today. Quiet morning in the parking lot. Bright orange trees sparkle in the sunlight. Ah, I love October!
October 16 at 2:16pm
Great to see your smiling face! And your son!
I had a huge spike of energy today – cleaned the kitchen top to bottom! Washed all the kitchen towels. Then tackled my desk. Never seen so many credit card offers in one place… ripped and recycled!
Watched the memorial service for the UMass bandleader on the computer… great, upbeat celebration, lots of fun stories.


Once again reminded how short life is, that it’s important to live it! Hugs!
October 16 at 10:59pm
Good day? Good beers?
Had a nice evening out at the pub. Buffalo shrimp… yum.
Friend in London just got on FB… spent two hours chatting with her, showing her around FB.
Sleep well, sweet man.

Football book
Between Phil and You
October 17 at 10:47am
Here’s an article about a football book you might like:
In conjunction with senior NFL Films producers Greg Cosell and David Plaut, Jaws has presented, as he calls it, “The Evolution of the NFL in Seven Sundays’’ in a new book, “The Games That Changed The Game.’’
Does anyone in television look like he’s having more fun than Ron Jaworski? The man looooves football, and he loves sharing his knowledge with the public. When Jaws is breaking down tape, the man is in another dimension.
October 17 at 9:00pm
Yes football! Woot!
October 17 at 9:12pm
You still watching? Rooting for the Skins?
Phil October 17 at 9:41pm

October 15 at 10:21am
Good morning!  I hope your Friday is off to a great start.  Still gray here, but the monsoon is over.
Hope the beer fest with your son is fun tomorrow.  Just saw an ad about “The Lobster Party” here.  Wow, does it sound like your sort of party – craft beers and lobster!

October 15 at 1:43pm
Wicked windy out today!  Had a great lunch in Harvard Sq – groovy pizza place called Oggi.  Vegetarian friend ordered a goat cheese, cheery tomatoes and almond pizza.  Not my choice, but still yummy.  Fun to get out of the office. Very quiet today.
October 15 at 4:36pm
All alone in the office.  Sent everyone home early. Too quiet… Counting the minutes until I can leave.  Wish you were around to tell me great stories and make me laugh.  Hope you made it home easily. Have a great weekend!

October 14 at 6:30am
Good morning! Hope your day is off to a good start.  Another gorgeous dawn in progress here. The border of the night and day is so beautiful today…the deep blue giving way to the pink and orange of a new day. Woke up very cold… had to dig out the winter robe!
October 14 at 8:04am
What’s your Thursday plan? I hope you get to have fun.
Hoping for a quiet office day. Made progress yesterday, prepped for a reception in two weeks for a couple hundred people. 
Dinner tonight with a friend at the Piccadilly Pub, a local chain. Your kind of place – very British, huge bar, seafood. Even Yorkshire pudding! Have you had that? Side dish, good with gravy – cross between a popover and pudding. The pub is in the burbs, North Reading, so the prices are cheap.

Talking to myself

So Phil and I parted on Thursday morning at Dulles.  I flew home and he went off on vacation with his family.  I wrote to him as usual.  And he wrote… not much or nothing.  Five messages in six days.  Fifty-four words total.  I got the sinking feeling that he was done with me.  See if you agree… 

Friday fiddling
Between Phil and You
October 8 at 2:40am
Took a long nap. Up late. Musing. Wondering what you’re thinking.
Seeing you again was so wonderful! Answered questions. Healed an old wound. Great to see bits of your day-to-day life. Such a gift. Thank you. 1000 times.
But now I know what I am missing. You. Our conversations. Our laughter. Stories about the good days and the bad times our lives. kisses. In for more yearning. But calmed by the prospect of more moments.
Tough to be home. Seeing my life in ways it might be better I didn’t see. But I am working to change parts of it.
I wrote down everything I could remember. 39 hours. Important to treasure the joy. The comfort. The fun.
Thinking of you. Trying not to write to you every 10 minutes. Be safe. Have a great trip North.
October 8 at 8:27am
Good morning! It’s a beautiful day here.. no clouds, 50’s, bright orange trees. Gulls coasting on the breeze. Looked at the satellite weather photos down the East coast – a great day for driving North. Safe travels, sweet man.
October 8 at 2:47pm
Ah, Friday afternoon. Hope your drive is going well. Office finally quiet after hectic morning of catching up, doing payroll early due to the Monday holiday. Looking forward to a long weekend!

Why can’t I go to bed without writing to you? 🙂 So glad you had an easy trip. You’re traveling under my karma now.
Replaying Tue/Wed/Thu in my mind. Lots to keep me smiling for a awhile. Hope it is the same for you. Have fun at Oktoberfest! BEER! Think of me pulling you aside in the crowd to kiss you deeply… mmmm…
October 9 at 8:00am
Good morning, Philip! It’s a spectacular morning here… bright blue skies, crisp air… perfect fall day ahead.
October 9 at 9:17am
Thinking about mountains… I can hear you singing this.


“You Raise Me Up”
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
Phil October 9 at 12:41pm
Having a blast. Great music, good food, wonderful company, mountain air. Ahhhh
October 9 at 6:42pm
You forgot to mention the beer?! 🙂
Had a full day… ready to watch the AL play-offs. Go Twins!
I know you are wicked busy being son, husband, dad etc. Thanks for sending me mgs… it makes my day!
October 9 at 7:43pm
It was my “be kind others” day on 3 fronts.  Saw my friend in the nursing home, took her out for lunch, saw my parents, and went out to supper with hubby and a friend who has no money.  Off to catch up on NCIS and baseball. *hugs*
October 9 at 10:50pm
Great photos of you today! Your smile… *swoon*
Caught up on NCIS! Freaky to watch, kept missing bits of the story because I was noticing locations I recognized! So cool… and odd how they patch bits of D.C. with other shots around L.A..
October 10 at 12:24am
Ok. The Yankees won the ALDS. In grand style. Have to give them some credit. Grrrr…. off to bed. Sleep well, sweet man.

Smile by Uncle Kracker


Songwriters: Bose, Jeremy; Daly, Blair; Harding, J; Shafer, Matthew;
You’re better than the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side of my pillow, that’s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
lets me know that it’s okay, Yeah, it’s okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade
Chorus:
You make me smile like the sun,
fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Even when you’re gone, somehow you come along just like
A flower pokin’ through the sidewalk crack
And just like that You steal away the rain, and just like that
Chorus
Don’t know how I lived without you
‘Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
Chorus

What’s up w/you today? Work? Play?
I’m changing my life! Made three resolutions on the plane. First step – being social on my own. Made plans with friends I want to know more about. Have three meals out planned.  Hope for good conversations and good food.
Phil October 13 at 9:43am
Good for you! I’m hauling boxes today. Whoo Hoo. Cleaning this dump up. Cannot stand clutter and got a house full. No more.
October 13 at 12:52pm
Wow! Getting rid of clutter is an awesome idea. I might add that idea to my resolutions list. Not that I have very much in my little condo, but less would still be better. 🙂
Great beach and trip photos! Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Thanks for sharing. Nice to see what came of all those plans you talked about. 
Very quiet day in the office. Trying to get ahead on various projects.
October 13 at 10:44pm
Hope you had lots of success in your anti-clutter campaign! Had a nice dinner at Border Cafe. Love Cajun food. Thought of you when someone ordered a margarita! Sleep well, sweet man. Sweet dreams.

Visit Part 9 – Home again

Hey, there! I hope you’re having a great day.  I had an easy flight. JetBlue knows how to do it!  Home now, full of my comfort food – spicy Szechuan dumpling soup: suan la chow show.  Thinking of our adventures and smiling. 🙂

Subject: Quick trip summary

HI, Betsy,

Wow… I am so touched that you are checking in on me.  I am wondering just how angst-y I sounded before Tuesday!  Sorry if I worried you too much.  

I am fine.  Better than fine.  Great!  I had a wonderful time with Philip.  We talked a lot, kissed a lot and ate great food!  And as I was saying good bye at the airport, he said, “So I will see you in Boston in December, right?  It’s a date.”  Heh.  
I managed to stay “in the moment” all the time, not fret about the past or the future.  I did not analyze.  I did not cry.  Not sure how!  I answered a lot of questions.  And didn’t get tied up in emotions.  Just enjoyed.  
He thinks of himself as a know-it-all on the food front, having traveled and eaten all over the world, but I was able to introduce him to three new things!
 – Thai soup: tom ka gai (chicken coconut soup), 
 – an appetizer – Greek taramosalata (blended fish roe and cheeses) 
 – Greek dessert – galaktoboureko (phyllo with custard inside)!  
He took me to his office!  So cool.  Everyone salutes him.  So strange.  
I do miss him a lot already.  It is so fun to be with him.  And such a luxury to be able to touch a man whenever I want. 
After I cleared security and was seated at the gate, I started to fret about whether he’d had a good time, since we didn’t talk about how we felt at all.  Then I got a text.  It was clear from the timing that after he left me at the security checkpoint, he must have sat in his car and texted me.  It read “Have a great flight.  I had fun, ate some new things that I enjoyed, enjoyed the conversation, was a very enjoyable couple of days. 🙂  
He is the SWEETEST MAN!
Not sure what else to say.  If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
And thanks again for good vibes.  It seems to have worked in spades. 
Back to my mundane life!

Visit Part 5 – An unexpected lunch

Day 2 – Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Phil woke up very early, showered, and put on his uniform.  It made his butt look spectacular!  I told him so and he blushed.  He had always said he wanted to keep his job separate from his personal life, so it felt very special to get to see him dressed like that. 
He gave me a big kiss then headed out, said he’d see me in the late afternoon.  I ate a cereal bar, did work on the computer, and showered.  I sent him a message on FB the same as I would any other morning. 
Wednesday wonders 
Between Phil and You
October 6 at 7:25am
Hey there, sweet man. It’s a gorgeous, cool morning here. Full of colors – blue sky, white clouds, green grass and trees, brown buildings… and people of all colors going by. Everything seems right with this corner of the world. Have a great day!

He called mid-morning, said it was quiet in the office and he couldn’t wait all day to see me!  Wow!  He wanted to take me out for lunch.  I put my hair up and dressed up a bit.  My sister called and we had a nice chat. It was the first time she really let me talk about him.  She seemed to finally understand how wonderful he is for me.  The housekeeper came through to make the bed and give us more towels.
Phil returned about noon, and took me over to officers club!  They had an incredible buffet! Wowzers. It was a gorgeous country club building, and a huge dining room in colonial style with big chandeliers. What an incredible array of food! There were five tables – salads, soups, two entree tables and dessert! I had ham chowder, a fried chicken breast, kielbasa, green beans, broccoli, mac & cheese and a salad with beets.  I was very virtuous and did not go back for seconds! I ate a tiny taste of cherry jello, German chocolate cake and pecan pie!  Lots of sweet tea. Our waiter was a very friendly black older gentleman who fawned over Phil.  Phil told me stories about his dogs and the neighborhood cats.  He seemed nervous.  I did not touch him.  Too many people around. I got a good look at his uniform and metal – his name tag had quite an impressive title.  The waiter tried to con his watch off him! 
I kissed him in the car in the parking lot, but he seemed nervous about who might see us.  He drove me back to the room and pressed me up against the wall for a long kiss. Oh, how wonderful he makes me feel!  
I had a nice chat with my online friend, Betsy. She let me gush about Phil. She likes him. Heh. She told me she is very proud of the way I am handling it, staying in the now. Not peppering him with questions, just having fun. I told her it’s because I can talk to her instead!
I finished up all my work, and decided to rest my eyes until Phil arrived. He was almost 40 minutes late, so it was good I was mostly asleep and not fretting too much.

Good morning! Happy Friday! Thick high clouds today… but it feels like the sun could come out any time. 77 degrees at 8:30 am. Very warm for October! Gotta run to work. Keep smiling!
October 1 at 11:14am
Busy day? I just got done interviewing someone who may come work with us. Very interesting guy…
Phil October 1 at 11:37am
Good morning! Interesting day. Heading off to a luncheon and then house cleaning. Yuck, after my long drive. Hope you are having a good day

October 1 at 11:54am
You clean house? Hunh. 
I’ll text you when I get out of lunch… should be about 2 pm? Not going back to the office. If you feel like talking while you drive, you can call me. Been too long since I’ve heard your sexy voice.

Good morning! Happy Football day! It’s wicked cold here – only 48 degrees on my balcony this morning. Bright sunshine, clear skies… and the promise of another spectacular October day! Enjoy!
October 3 at 12:36pm
Hope your team wins!
October 3 at 2:21pm
Good game so far? Hope you’re having fun.
I just took a long shower… all clean and warm… smelling of powder! Feeling bouncy today, put on my Tigger t-shirt.
I’m off to play on the computer while my niece naps, and her parents attend a grown-up birthday party.
October 3 at 3:10pm
Been looking at restaurants in VA… amazing the array of places! Thinking about a fun dinner with a old friend on Tuesday, then treating him to dinner Wednesday… someplace he likes – fun, casual, good beer, seafood maybe…
Also letting my mind wander to sexier subjects. Skirt. Hands. Mouths. Mmmm… But you seem shy on that front right now, so I won’t go there unless you say it’s okay.
Just musing to pass the time on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Wicked boring here.
October 3 at 4:36pm
They won! Yeah!
October 3 at 7:05pm
Busy day? Hope you had fun with all the football. 
I survived the afternoon with my non-napping niece. She is not a monster by any means, but she was trying to get into stuff she knows she’s not allowed to do, see if I would let her. Ugh.
It’s a quiet night here. Hubby’s out. Hope to catch up on some TV. Have a great evening!
Phil October 3 at 8:28pm
Great football day! Big win! Watching another game now. Head back in the morning. Glad you had a good day. Rained all friggin day today!
October 3 at 8:54pm
Been catching up on chores. Not fun but necessary.
Call me on your way? I’d love to hear you glory in the win. You can even gloat about the Yankees making the playoffs! 🙂
Phil October 3 at 9:12pm
Leave about 5:00. Will fall asleep watching the game. Red Sox suck! Cost us the division title
October 3 at 9:25pm
I’ll be awake early. Going to bed soon. I can be your ray of sunshine if it’s a rainy trip. Don’t let your early start keep you from calling if you want to take advantage of this chance to rag on my town’s baseball team. 🙂


[Email to Phil 9:27 pm]

Oh, I almost forgot.  Two quick questions – 
1) Do you have an opinion about a hotel?  Chantilly or Woodbridge?  
I should finalize tomorrow.
2) Meet in the baggage claim area for JetBlue #xxx?  
Probably won’t check a bag, but it’s a specific spot to find me.  Unless you have a better plan.    
See you soon, old friend.

Good morning! I hope your day is off to a great start and you’ll have an easy commute. It’s pouring rain and cold here. No balcony time this morning. But I woke up energized and raring to go, so it can be a great day no matter what the weather!
[Philip called me as he drove back to D.C.]

October 4 at 7:33am
So great talking with you! I am so ready to see you! Have a wonderful day.

Wow! Busy day. Got lots done. Can leave work in good conscience. Headed home to pack. Whee!


October 4 at 8:18pm
Howdy, kiddo. Hope you had a wonderful day. You watching the football? Rooting for anyone?
