Thanks for the compliments. I have worked hard to keep my focus on S6. I think he appreciates that.
I had a fun trip to DC. Traveled with a group of older folks, a buddy from work, and handful of students. Trying to sleep on a train is no fun, but having a few beers with old hippies, learning how to travel cheap to places like Vietnam/Central America/Cuba/Tibet, sharing personal stories/jokes with new acquaintances was fun. The march/gathering was interesting/tedious/exciting. I mingled with many folks, helped shepherd
Whether in conservative or liberal circles, I find both flexible and closeminded people. I found my personal changes with DBing very helpful in listening to people's opinions while sharing and explaining mine, especially less popular one's like my spiritual/religious beliefs and how those fit/conflict with both major parties. I noticed that I left initially vehement folks satisfied that I heard them, yet I felt comfortable that I did not sell myself short, either.
I had two women bluntly tell me that I was a "very attractive" man. Although it may have been the beer talking, or my tie-dyed shirt , I found myself comfortable with those compliments, replying w/ a "thank you" and not minimizing them with jokes or distractions. Both were married women in their early 40's.
Its good to be home. XW hasn't picked up her phone in 2 days. I'm sure she's busy with her move, yet I'd like to see S6. I'll try again later today. I'm having some mixed feelings about her moving - sadness, with some excitement about getting 'home' finally. It'll be over 11 months by the end of the week. Her leaving to her own condo feels like yet another nail in the R coffin, but also some breathing/growing room for my GAL work.
