International Bear Rendezvous left me breathless; I am amazed at some of the revelations that hit me this weekend. This may sound very much in the vein of an after-school special, but "I was never the same after that summer." The entire weekend was free of drama, and was nothing short of amazing.

Highlights of the weekend included:

Meeting Bryan, the most vivacious soul I've met in years. Instant friend, just add fun.

FINALLY meeting bonehound, who was the best SF tourguide I could have imagined AND incredibly sweet and sexy.

Being verbally assailed by a homeless woman because I wouldn't buy her a cookie from Starbucks.

Having absolutely no expectations about my vacation and leaving San Francisco utterly content.

Learning in truth that a person with a disease is NOT the disease; I paid this much lip service until this weekend when I learned just how detached I was from this fact.

Being told by the most beautiful man I've seen in a long while how adorable I was without it being an attempt to bed me; an honest comment that sent me to the moon.

Learning that new friends are everywhere around you, even if you had once considered them old enemies.

More later, I suppose.

damn, I didn't realize you were here. I worked all weekend. Bearhug at EROS was fun though.

Next time?

Of course; I thought I spied you on the street but you crossed before I could say hello.

I'm sorry I missed you.

I'm glad you had such an awesome time, Buddy! Soemday I may do a bear event like that one.

Well, come with me to one; I tend to have a ball at them.

"Learning in truth that a person with a disease is NOT the disease; I paid this much lip service until this weekend when I learned just how detached I was from this fact."

A lot of people say it. So few actually learn how to truly feel that way.

When I was in LA (not SF) last, I had a few conversations related with someone from there and the perspective from him was completely different than I was used to hearing here in the midwest. It is a nice fresh perspective.
