Hey all,

Thanks for the well-wishes...we're heading off tomorrow AM for a week in Maine. We both have relaxation on our minds!

h finished school yesterday -- handed in his paper, had an interview for a school position and then took a final! What a day for him! Met him for drinks and dinner. We toasted his success and commitment. He seemed happy and relieved.

We got up early this AM (not easy after giant drinks!) and went hiking. Then we drove to see his parents and spent some hours driving around the town he lived in when he was a kid -- showed me the paths he used to take, trees he used to hide in, the first place he ever at lunch and paid the bill himself, etc. I love this man and his ability and desire to share himself with me. I can't believe how long it took me to see (hear) the way he communicates and shares.

I'll look forward to catching up with all of you when I get back!
