Well, I made my second trip out to LA in 6 weeks. The second was better than the first, and the first was amazing. I had a better time with bro and sis-in-law then I have...well...ever. Sis and I had a chance to bond in a way that we never did. And, surprisingly, she gave me some insight into bro that shows he DOES care, he just shows it in a much more guarded way than he used to. I had a great night catching up with an old friend...2 margaritas...one piece of cake...and about 8 hours of conversation. It doesn't get any better than that. Oh wait, yes it does...NDG is still awesome.

Here's the problem...then I have to leave, and leaving SUCKS.

BGF...you better get your act together. I know we had the agreement that neither of us was going out there till the other one was ready...hurry up and get ready!
