Roger is still maintaining contact. It is still mostly about the dog, but he still slips in bits about what is going on with him.

Last Thursday I went to pick up the dog and ended up staying and having a beer with him. I got there ahead of a wicked thunderstorm and he was concerned that it looked like a funnel cloud could form (we didn't have the radio on, but I found out from my coworker that they did issue tornado warnings on her drive home from work). He offered me a beer and said I should hang out til there was a break in the storm. We chit chatted a bit and he was telling me about his EMDR (he had just gotten home from a session). Apparently his therapist is focusing on positive thinking during about 3/4 of the EMDR sessions, but he had done some hard work that day related to being the one to discover his mom after his stroke. He said that for the first time he felt sorry for that little boy.

There's been some interesting interaction about my upcoming vacation too. I got a e-mail about deals to Maui and cleared it with my boss, so I am taking a week off next month and going to Maui for 5 days! Plane ticket was only $358!!!! I told Roger about it because I wanted to know if he could watch the dog. Roger told me that if I packed him in my luggage, he would be my private masseuse for the trip lol. He mentioned he has been trying to plan a vacation, but has had no luck as prices have been too high and how this sounded like such a great deal. But then made a point of saying he wouldn't go at the same time because he wouldn't want to ruin my vacation. I thought that was a rather odd statement, and told him that would be a first. He asked if it would be weird, and I said yeah, it would. So he said yeah, he would watch the dog. He definitely is jealous though lol.
