Saving it until the time is right to tell

As I sat there with my brown ale from Denmark and miscalculated the avenues of Manhattan from a new, nice POV eight stories up, I remembered that the island rises and then comes back down to water's edge on the near-distant other side. What a great, small, perfect little mad island. I recognize that every morning as I cross the bridge by which some are threatened, towards the other side, Brooklyn. I fell in love with Brooklyn the way anyone would, lived there three years and certainly miss important aspects like the park and the trees and the green. It was the oassis of this city, as a unit. Yet, I understand why I needed to come back.

Here on the island on this day, I took some time to catch up: haircut, summer/winter clothes swap from storage, packing for the next travel, and by far the most beautiful day of the year to date. On so many levels, I got a lot done. Never stop... time to keep going towards that Saturday morning flight.

Still, ah, a day to catch up was warranted and I think well spent. I saw my doc today, she of course only had great news and so I press on there too, whole and en route. All's well...

This evening, as I began to mention, a wonderful old friend who had gone towards his own with his ex (whom I also know) to the west coast and finally now for a year has made his way to NYC, reunited with me this evening out in Chelsea under the stars of a beautiful spring afternoon. We started at Google, where he works and where I wish I did too. I ran into him there at a business meeting in another department, looked him up and was escorted to that cute boy I remembered hosting a wonderful New Years Day 1999. Rob and Brad were the couple I knew closely that was lasting the longest. They were (about) my age, certainly in the circles I was with, and glowed in my eyes. Rob was the cynical one, Brad the beautiful one, with those special blue eyes.

Now working out of the NY office, he was here, and with me there I thought why not ask... and there he was on the internal Google chart that maps the place to the nearest cubicle. It's what I do, with plently of cash. My My.. Timing is everything.Shoshi...
