Since I have the attention span of a five year old these days, the only way I will be able to complete a post is to do it in bits:
“Life is short, so let’s make it as painful as possible”
A friend’s favorite (original) quote. Not as bleak as it sounds… he was referring to partying – I’m not. I am in a period of health issues. Poor David – not much makes me crazier than dealing with health issues, the healthcare system, MD(eities), specialists and their staff, etc… I AM the world’s worst patient because I have no patience, and I learned long ago that you have to manage your own healthcare because nobody else is paying enough attention. Call it a mini-rant…
Catch 22
Since I have been living in Florida, it as been made abundantly clear that no one is going to give anyone homeowner’s insurance if you live east of Rt. 95 and you moved here after the 2005 hurricane season. Well, I received a letter from my condo association (blood sucking control freaks) that “a law was passed in 2004 (the year before the 2005 hurricane seaon) that condo owners must have homeowner’s insurance.” Great. State Farm, my auto insurance carrier announced that they are pulling their property insurance coverage out of the state (seems they like to collect but not pay). This actually turned out to be a positive. Allstate swoops in, contacts all State Farm customers with reasonable auto insurance quotes, I call and ask about homeowner’s insurance, they dance through hoops, and I am soon to be in “good hands” at WAY reasonable rates. A middle finger is raised high to State Farm. Mini rant with something positive…
It’s a living
Work… who is not stressed about their job these days? I suppose if it were fun, it wouldn’t be called work. Barely perceptible super-mini rant…
And now for something completely different
OMG, David and I actually have a vacation planned! Just us, no family, no Disney – not that I mind either of those, but it will be nice to have this one be just the two of us in a place neither of us has been. It’s a little, secluded cottage in the middle of the Keys, on the water… blue-green waters by day, clear star filled night skies… Ahhhhh
Happy Ending
Hardly an ending… David and I celebrate our three year anniversary on Monday. That’s 21 in gay years (and dog years). For those of you who have been with us individually and collectively since our Yahoo 360 days – do you believe it is three years?!? Thank goodness for US. In an existence that is otherwise challenging and banal by turns, it is the singular bright spot in my life. Hell, it’s a supernova.
There’s more, but my attention is wavering and it is the weekend, after all. So it is time to step away from the computer and have a life. Until next time…

Three years? No way! In commemoration of the event, please, please, please, repost the blog about Moving Day. The mental picture of that house going down the road still brings a smile to my face! Anyway, happy anniversary to both of you!
Ha! That was a fun post... I should re-post that series (I think there were three) on the anniversary of the move in May. I can't remember if I posted the first one in April when I was supposed to move and got delayed a month... but I will find them and post them. I still have that picture!
Happy Anniversary to you both.
So heartening to see it actually happens.
The both of you are hope in my eyes and prayers.
Congrats on your first 3 years. A vacation where you don't have anything planned can sometimes be the best ones.
Congratulations to the both of you, but I am really not at all surprised, miss you on 360 but I pop by here now and again to check in, job blah, insurance blah, but vacation, yeah you!

Wow... it's like a 360 reunion of all the cool kids!
Thanks for your kind words, Jeffrey. Never let go of hope.
Thanks, Richard. I completely agree about the joy of letting go of planning!
Des! My sweet Des... it is so good to see you here. I pop in at 360 now and then. I should stop by and say HI! more often.
So I looked up on the internet what I should send for a third year anniversary, and it's leather or glass. Glass will break and I'm not even gonna touch the leather idea...
So you'll have to settle for Happy Anniversary! (btw -- I love that you think you are full of it sometimes. I loved that guest post!)
Sigh...okay...okay.
Happy 3rd Anniversary!!! Who knew time would pass this quickly?! It's soooo wonderful that you and D are getting a chance to go away together without the likes of others and dem' hanging around. Love is a wonderous party, ain't it? Hope springs eternal...we all can still hope!!!
You buyin' this? I know...I'm pathetic on Monday. I love you, so I feel I can get away with my mini-rant here. It's the job thing, I think...making me lose my Tinkerbell personality. The most you can do, though, is ignore me for a little while as I roll my eyes and think..."I'm glad he's found his Boaz"...David is a good egg, really. He makes you happy and that's the greatest gift. And I think he's as lucky as you are living with the ranting and stuff. Plus, you ain't bad to look at.
I'd like to see the moving blogs again too. We were so young then...before learning that medicated powder lesson. Now that I'm reminded you're in good hands...I'm going to set up that really expensive, shiny, and malfunctioning coffee maker that has to be restarted every other cup...rant, rant, rant.
I had a really cute name to post this with...but they chopped it up...grrrr-rant!
Happy anniversary, & your vacation sounds FABULOUS! I'm quite jealous, I love the Keys.
That post was a hoot. I'm sorry you're having health issues, but it sounds like you're in reasonably good spirits.
I can't believe that I've known you guys for 3 years... Perhaps one day I'll actually clink glasses with you!
