Good morning! 
Did you stay up all the way to the end of the baseball game? 
 I gave up at midnight but it turned out like I wanted.

Congrats CUBS! I remember 2004 in Boston and smile with Chicago this morning. This cartoon sums up the feels…

I’m popular this week. After not seeing any guys for nearly two months, a guy I haven’t seen in 2.5 years reappeared and wants dinner tomorrow, and The Northerner wants lunch Friday! Wacky.

Love you back

7:25AM Sassy
Good morning!  Mwah!
7:28AM Phil
Good morning!

7:29AM Sassy
Good weekend?
7:34AM Phil
It was. My pal called yesterday to let me know one of our closest friends passed away suddenly. He was a great guy and we enjoyed many adventures and always thought we had many more to go – dreamed of taking trips together.   

Reminds you that tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I have not really lost anyone close to me other than my Dad and a very few other family members but it was their time, they had lived full lives. This sucked, this guy should have had many more years.

7:37AM Sassy
Oh no!  So sorry to hear that.  Hugs.  

I know that feeling.  
Always makes me want to live life to the fullest.  
And tell people things now.  
I love you, Philip!

Safe conveyance

October 30, 2016 Sunday

9:51AM Sassy
From Sally Bedell Smith’s Facebook page:

The Queen at 90, out riding yet again, in beautiful autumn weather yesterday along the Thames near Windsor Castle, with Terry Pendry, her head groom. As always, her mount was a Fell pony, described to me by Sir Michael Oswald, her former stud manager at her Sandringham estate, as a “safe conveyance.” Still, her fitness is astounding!


11:36AM Sassy
Happy football day!
