Well, my New York adventure is all over bar the packing tonight and getting to the airport in time tomorrow.
I haven't really had the time to thank everyone for making the time to see me and be so lovely to me.
Jes comes in for special thanks for her organizing of the deli lunch.
Thomas, Joe, and tsar do for the amount of time they gave up to do stuff with me. I really enjoyed the time with you guys!! It was awesome to see frank and kicky, and that jes, region and lil k came all the way from Boston!!!
It was fantastic to meet legends like Boida......and Boida did the equivalent of a marathon in getting to the frying pan.
I really cannot say how lovely it has been to meet you all in the flesh and to experience your kindness and humor and evil teasing and feistiness.
You're all even better in the flesh....which is pretty remarkable.
As a special note to all of you who have been waiting and wondering and worrying....David's balls remain in place.
The g word never passed his lips! a gentleman.
Dlowan, I first read your spherical warning after I returned from our meeting,
but I was fairly confident that no one within earshot was interested
in discussing the subject matter of the g word; i.e., the subject did not come up.
(On other occasions, in other venues, someone has either questioned me,
asked for updates, or taunted me relating to some incident or another, but not this time.)
U have honored NY by visiting us, dlowan, all the way from Austrailia
and u provided us New Yorkers with an excuse to meet one another
: THANK U.
Of the A2Kers present at the table, I had only been so fortunate to meet the Tsar for dinner.
I felt privileged and most blessed to have been seated next to u.
We will miss u in NY, but we will know our loss stands to Austrailia 's benefit in the return
of a very fine social worker and all around good person! Again: thanx for coming.
I wish u a safe and comfortable trip back to Austrailia tomorrow.
May the
beauty in your life be exceeded only by your continuing
JOY, dlowan!
David
