what a perfect ending to the weekend! i've so enjoyed knowing these guys i'm so glad you were inspired to write it, and then to share it with all of us thank you Wayne

such good news on your dad! not so much about your fever, take care of yourself

sounds like a perfectly lovely weekend!

Happy Saturday to you to Wayne! We just left the farmers market with some cauliflower & carrots heading now to our favorite charity shop to drop off some clothes & canned goods have y'all got plans?

Yes, that's the one. The actor who played Superman is the lead. He's hot....

day one of the long weekend has been an unqualified success! i slept in, played Sherlock Holmes The Devil's Daughter with Number One Son watched the last two episodes of The Witcher and The Highwaymen with Phil now we're going to go to dinner for Number One's birthday see you later

thanks! it was easy last night, since i had worked all day. tonight & the rest of the weekend may not be as early 😊

i've taken tomorrow and Monday off but i'm going to try to keep a normal bedtime so it's goodnight Sirs goodnight friends sleep well, hope to see you tomorrow

i remember that you said this about your father, how is he doing? and the part about the boyfriend made me smile

i have always loved this chapter! Number Two Son has a trans friend it was magical to see them blossom when he could be him, when the band director said, "Yes, of course you can wear the tuxedo instead of the dress." i worked VERY HARD to make sure the rest of the parent volunteers remembered to use masculine pronouns and his chosen name

thanks Parker it doesn't seem overwhelming or grandiose doing it this way

it's been a wonderful start to the new year, but i have things to do before bed to get ready for work tomorrow i wish you all, Sirs and friends, a good night sleep well

thanks tim focusing on these things rather than the negative ones makes a difference i think

i've been looking forward to this tim & Wayne let the fun begin!

thanks for asking me to be a part of it @Carlos Hazday i enjoyed getting to know these young men

2019, was really not a good year. There was a lot of pain, some backsliding. i’m not sure that the joys balanced it out. Will going over what happened help it make sense? Probably not. So instead of looking back, i thought i’d look forward. 2020, a new decade. Well, unless you’re my co-worker who insists that the new decade won’t start until Jan 2021, but i digress. While i’m not one to make “New Year’s Resolutions,” i’ve gotten a head start at a better year. Phil and i are making more of an effort to have real date nights. Time when we can concentrate on just us. It’s been nice going to dinner and talking about things other than kids, and what needs to be taken care of at home. i’ve started taking a supplement again, in order to get better sleep. Life is hard sometimes. It can be harder if you aren't sleeping well. i’ve renewed my commitment to having breakfast every morning, and eating a real lunch. It makes a difference in my productivity and mood when i'm not hungry. The hardest part of this, is that when i wasn't eating well, i started snacking again. Now i find that i'm craving the sugar again. i was given one of those smart watches that can track your movement during the day. It’s been set for moving 55 minutes every day. There’s a feature that reminds me to get up from my desk and move. What makes this one particularly easy is that most everyone in my office gets up to walk several times each day. i’m learning to leave work, at work. To not go over my to do list once i leave the office, and worry about what i wasn't able to take care of. Coupled with this is trying to remember that it's important to take a day off now and then. A real day off, not just a day to run errands, and attending to other "adulting" tasks. i’ve done a lot of work on forgiveness that will continue in the new year. Though i’ll never be able to forget the hurts, i’ve started calling my parents a couple of times a week. i am making an effort to keep the lines of communication open with my siblings. The events of last fall drove home the fact that life can, and does, change in an instant.. We feel that it’s also important since our parents haven’t been forthcoming with me regarding their health. i realize that there are going to be things that happen that i will have no control over; but these things, these things i can control. i hope that 2020 is good for you and yours, that you achieve your goals and never stop reaching for your dreams. Happy New Year

good night Sirs good night all Happy New Year

i don't think that there is ever an inappropriate time to post things like this, Snowblind i'm very glad you took the time to put it together Happy New Year

and to You and tim Sir Happy New Year, Starry! i'm having a bourbon and coke and watching the Alamo Bowl with Phil

i'll be leaving to get Number Two from work shortly, then take Number One to work so it's time good night Sirs good night friends sleep well

good to see you back rick!

i don't have the words to tell you how sad it makes me feel that you are feeling this way

Because Monday's are hard

oh Fae! thank you so much for sharing this! it's beautiful i've added it to my Spotify playlist

life is looking up for this wonderfully diverse extended family and this: Orson looked at Joseph and smiled. "That's really nice, Joseph. To include him. Thanks for that." Joseph seemed confused. "Orson, you two are a package deal. I just thought it was for granted that we'd include him whenever we can." He smiled. this is wonderful! only 2 left? .......sigh...........
