Today Hugo a Go-Go and I went to a city called NEW WESTMINISTER.  It is a lovely little place between Vancouver and Surrey.  I went  to meet a guy to buy some AVON RUBY-RED GLASS.  I have collected it for years and have a pretty nice set but I still need quite a few pieces to complete a whole dinner set.  I bought some from this man a few months back off of Craigslist and he emailed me saying he found some cheap at a rummage sale.  So for $25 I got a decanter and 8 wine goblets.  A real bargain as it is hard to find it as AVON put this out about 25 years ago.  I was stoked to get his email.  HOWEVER that last time I was to meet him at the Surrey Skytrain Station and he got lost.  So I told him to meet me this time at the Columbia Skytrain as it is the easiest to find and get to.  He got lost...AGAIN.  so 3 cellphone calls later and we finally did the deal.  After that we went for lunch at the Heritage Grill, not realizing it was a place that has a gay night and drag show every week.  Hugo's friend MATT told us about it.  The food was SUPERB!  Great house salad with fresh basil dressing and a HUGE club sandwich.  The place has a New Orleans style to it with great jazz playing... BUTT [note the 2 t's]  the walls were covered with paintings of naked ladies.  We giggled and I just HAD to take a few pics and a video inside the place.  Our waitress was lovely too.   After that we were off to the ARMY & NAVY and I bought a new shower curtain and some christmas decals to spruce up the halls of my building.  What a great day.

You know, bro, you do have a way of expressing things the way I think them. It's weird how you can do that.

I was just questioning, is all. Sometimes, it seems like people ignore other people for a long time, and there just doesn't seem to be any reason for it, even when all the possible reasons have been considered. I've been really fortunate, in that the people who are my friends really ARE friends. No matter what's going on, I know that at least one person will come by and say hi, and I guess that's enough for me. Sometimes I fall into depression, and then it's not enough for me, and everything feels like a personal attack to me, but that's only when I'm depressed.

I love you, bro. I love reading about your life and your adventures, and I love being able to talk with you on the phone sometimes, too. It's so awesome to have a brother to talk to.........

I'm okay, hon, yes. Just some stuff going on that forced a postponement, is all. It's not off the table completely. I'll keep you and everyone posted - not to worry.

Shawn, I just signed up with 310LOAN for their affiliate program. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with providing my bank account info, though. I mean, isn't that kind of dangerous? The information isn't even securely encrypted, bro...

Yeah, I don't even like giving out my phone number or address online, even when it's going over a secure server. The idea of providing banking information is just too much for me to accept. But I love you for trying to help, hon; I truly do.
