1. Went impromptu to Las Vegas because a girlfriend was there for a business conference and had a double room. So myself and two other friends, went, had dinner at my very old friend's venue, and caught up with our mutual friend who was there on business. We missed the shooting by a week.
2. Went to a gallery opening for an artist friend of mine in Southern CA. The artist and the gallery owners are friends of mine. After the event about 20 of us went out for late dinner and drinks. Stayed at my friends home and hung out with their kids in the pool, which has a 180 degree view of the Pacific. Next evening hung out with their family.
Did movies a couple of times and dinner out a number of times, and attended my advanced salsa class several times, as well. I go to class and go dancing at least once a week when I am at my secondary residence. I've danced ballroom. Latin and country for many years. It's social, its fun and its great exercise so I do that with some frequency.
Later this month I've been invited to go see Kid Rock on a date. I've been invited to come to Maui if I choose to go (really I don't have time to do that in the near term.) It doesn't matter what I do or don't do. I answer because I'm happy to share. I'm happy to share because there ARE people who do well, have full lives and are enjoying the journey. Some of y'all need to get out and live your lives rather than dissing me for living mine.
Some of y'all ask questions with the specific intent of turning things around and twisting things. Think bigger and get over yourselves. When people PM me with personal problems here I try and give good advice and feedback. I don't BS and I don't sugarcoat and I'm proud of who I am and what I've acccomplished, failures, faults and all. If you don't believe what I say, if you think I am something other than what I represent, so what. Read my posts here. They are highly consistent. That's because they are the truth. Nobody could make this stuff up and keep it all straight for 2 years running.
But if y'all need to go poking around at me, go right ahead. Clearly its more entertaining that whatever else you have going on.
Cheers!
