It is already Wednesday and I have been back at work since Monday but have been so swamped.
I am not only digging out from under all the accumulated paperwork and mail and e-mails that were on my desk when I came back but I have my spring board meeting next week so have been working on my board report, agendas and fiancial statements. WOW!!!
Then I am writing a huge grant proposal that is due by the end of the month. We are going to ask for around $250,000 so I have to fine tune it and make it as perfect as I possibly can. Double WOW!
I did have a wonderful trip to CA and saw LA (a little bit). I went to the Getty museum and was told that they have to spend one billion dollars every year on art and salaries and buildings etc. Can you even begin to imagine that kind of money with all the desperate needs in our world???

Makes me cry.

Had lunch there and a great tour of the Degas exhibit and the Courbette exhibit. The grounds are beautiful and the buildings are incredible. I loved the little tram that takes you up the mountain and it is a deal at $8 per car.
We had a great meal at an incredible sushi restaurant in Encino where my friends live. WOW and double WOW it was good. I have never had sushi like that before. What a hick I am. Country boy goes to the big city. I felt like Jethro in the Clampettes! They like to eat at 9:30 at night which is way past my normal bedtime! LOL!
Of course my travel included lots of time in airports and watching great looking men and their incredible legs and bodies. Damn I love to guy watch. How about you? So many great looking guys. Hot damn. Why doesn't one of them ever sit down next to me on the plane or in the airport??

It never happens to me. NEVER!

Maybe I am giving out some strange vibes or something. STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! This guy is desperate and a virgin STAY AWAY!
Just the sight of a guys eyes, or chin, or Adam's Apple, or veins on his arms or his hands, hair on his legs or the absence of hair on his legs, his mouth, his lips, his hair, his ears, his toes, his calves, his fingers, his legs, his torso. Oh shit the whole package or even just a small part of it gets me going. I feel like such a loser sometimes.
Spent time in the mountains outside San Diego and that was nice this time of year. Saw snakes, wild turkeys, ravens, lizards, lots of birds etc. Spring time is the right time to visit in CA before it gets all hot and dry and brown.
Coming home to our mountains of green trees and luscious grass was great. Our snowball bushes are loaded with big huge white snowball blooms and the small yellow iris are blooming as well as the grape iris which smell so wonderful and the rhododendrons are almost ready to bloom and the azaleas are blooming and the peonies are almost ready.
It is gorgeous around here.
So anyway. That was my meeting and trip. It may be a while before I get to another chapter in Timmy and Tom's lives. We shall see how the week progresses. Thanks for reading and being here to support me.
Tonight I am going out with a friend to a new restaurant in Boone. It is called the Moonshine Cafe and was opened by the same folks who run the Coyote Kitchen. Lots of fresh organic meats and fish and salads etc. Should be fun.
peace to you all
