Best of luck!!Thank you L2! This is really helpful. I'm hoping to get to see some of the light show. It's a bit of a crap shoot as my area is cloudy with intermittent rain.
Are you kidding? That's one of my super powers!!I'll add the task to my calendar. It seems to work better for me that way. I'm not saying I don't change the dates or anything...
I think @Greylag may need a hugGorgeous, RJ!I wonder if @Greylag got some shots?

We don't go back that far, but he was a great help to me during some difficult times in my life. We met when he was in a drug and alcohol rehab program. My partner at the time was there as well. We really just knew each other from the family group counseling sessions.Amazing! All that shared history.
My BFF and I met in kindergarten. We've been each other's best friends since age 4. Some things - well, we have our own special shorthand that no one else knows. An original IYKYK kind of deal. You just had to be there. I'm sure you two have that same mojo. Really glad you could get together and hang out.
My SO still had a week in the program so L would be living with me in my house. A strange man I hardly knew. After much soul searching, I agreed. It was one of my best life decisions.
I use a Birthday app that populates my calendar app and sends me notifications about a week before the event! I could not do without it!
How DARE they?Well, would you look at the time?
Sweet Dreams everyone!!!

FYI - I'm undecided about tomorrow. I may be online but may not. Errands to run and maybe some baking to get done, and a deck repair will be underway at some point. Ridiculous - who put all this stuff on my calendar? And on a Saturday no less. *harrumph*
I think I'm gonna take a page from @Wat_Tyler and read for a bit.
I love stories like this. I’ve managed to keep a handful of childhood friends (down to just two now) but sadly the meaningful ones have passed on. You never know who you’ll make a meaningful connection with. I’m so happy you have that person!We don't go back that far, but he was a great help to me during some difficult times in my life. We met when he was in a drug and alcohol rehab program. My partner at the time was there as well. We really just knew each other from the family group counseling sessions.
He got discharged before my partner did. When my SO learned he was going to be living in his car, he told L that he could live with us.
That was 35 years ago. L has maintained his sobriety, went to college, got a few advanced degrees, and is now retired. Even in retirement, he's active and busy.
I long ago shed that partner, but I kept the great friend I made who is like a big brother to me!

You’re doing great work, HDH. So many need so much help. And in NC too…
Travel well and thank you for your helping those have suffered from the hurricane.
That sounds like an amazing day, if you ask me. Enjoy it!
This is amazing! I feel happiness and joy hearing how this one decision had such an impact on so many lives. How much richer both your lives are having connected and keeping that connection.We don't go back that far, but he was a great help to me during some difficult times in my life.
