Kathy and I had just gotten married back in 2001 when we traveled to San Diego to a dopefest and met **Coldie** and **Heloise** at Farrell’s. Two nicer and more gracious people you will never find anywhere. We’re both very happy for you two. You’re together now. Enjoy yourselves immensely. Have fun and we’ll see you on the other side when you finally emerge from the darkened flat with your clogs on backwards and your hair impossibly tousled. ---

Yes, I’m here!!! Yay! And happy to be. This is a beautiful place, made even more so because I’m with the man I love and his wonderful family. Sorry to be so gushy, but yes, life is definitely good. Sorry to be so long to post, but we’ve been, uh, busy. Um, unpacking, you know. There’s lots to unpack. 😃 ---
