Sorry all for missing pub night.

I have to apologize to the hubcommuniski. I've been totally out of synch here in the Pacific Time Zone, and, oh I might be in love.

Damn. And I live three time zones away and have a divorce to get through.

Bottom Line: It's been fabulous but totally and increasingly weird - especially for me. And this has nothing at all to do with me bailing out on the Seattle meet-up.

Anyway, I'm sitting in a Starbuck's in Bellingham. I've completed 4 out of 5 workshops and might have to totally change my life.

At least I'll always have hubski. steve thenewgreen _refugee_ insomniasexx -- there's no reason for shoutouts, I imagine you'll all see this anyway, sp00ns, flaggy, galen, pabs and everyone else who has been kind and amazing. Thanks for being real people in the surreal world of disembodied friendship.

btw, I have a new appreciation for embodied friendship (or as I call it, full-contact conversation).

Embodied friendship is really nice. Ironic that you'd say that after missing Seattle meet-up...

Oh, it's not even my place to rag. Fall in love, lil. Tell me about it, even.

    might have to totally change my life.

I agree - you're sitting in a Starbucks! There is a clear problem here. (Oh, no, just ragging again.)

I agree with you about sitting in a Starbucks. It's not something I normally do. Let's just say, I'm here because: navigation. The Starbucks is easily findable in a plaza near the highway exit. And since someone was crossing a border to find me, I want to be findable. Also to Starbuck's credit, the wait staff have all been genuine, human, warm, and adorable young people and, although I haven't used it, this Starbucks has a drive-through. There is something very Canadian about a drive-through. I almost feel at home. More on crazy love in due course, or sooner.
