Thursday

Spent most of the evening on the phone with Kevin. He told me about his day, and I'm telling you, I could not do his job. But, if I was ever in trouble, I'd want him to respond. Not to sound like a 13 year old girl, but he's awesome. He's one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and he's the first person besides Peter I've thought that maybe I could feel more than friendship toward. Was that a sentence?

In other news...Ryan Seacrest is dating Teri Hatcher?

Anyone who's sick of me writing about Kevin, feel free to ignore this and go about your day :-)

When we were in Snoqualmie, this sweet older man, a Mr. Horace Littlefield, wanted to take our picture and said he'd send us a copy of it. He said that he and his lover used to go there all the time and we reminded him a little of the two of them. We ended up having lunch with Horace and he told us about how difficult it was to be a gay couple back then and how happy he was to see the progress that had been made. It was really fun spending time with him, and Kevin was absolutely taken with him and his stories. Anyway, he did send the picture, as promised. I look like a goof, but I still like it.

The lodge where Kevin and Will were staying had an attached gift shop that the both of them had been reluctant to visit until their last day there. It was as if they knew that the purchasing of a few souvenirs meant their already too short trip to the falls was coming to an end. Still, as Will browsed through some books about the area and Kevin looked at some sweatshirts and hats, they made the most of every moment, sneaking glances at each other, commenting on what was available and promising that they'd do this again as soon as they could.

Finally, when each man had everything he was ready to buy, they got in line to pay and show off their finds to one another.

Topic 113: It was one of those days...

It was one of those days where everything at work seemed to need Will's attention. The moment he had put out one fire, another one started up, and by the time absolutely everything that could have gone wrong had been fixed, it was time for him to go home.
