A little typsy in Waikiki!!!

Yes, it's true...just left the bar downstairs in the Hyatt Regency. What a day! I'll have to blog about it later, but we arrived safe and sound and just finished getting tipsy downstairs in the bar! Off to bed and a full day tomorrow!
.
Aloha...and a fine day to ya!!!
.

Woooohoooo!!!

Aloha!

So, Hawaii is only a day away…I am so excited to be leaving tomorrow that I’ve barely been able to sleep. I have a ton of packing to do tonight. I’m hoping that I get out of the office before 5pm today.
.
My aunt Sandra arrived this weekend. She’s a hoot! We’ve had a great time shopping and talking…getting ready for the big trip. James and I were talking last night when I dropped him off at his place that today (the 27th) marks three months since our first date. I know that doesn’t seem like a long time, but in gay years it’s a diamond anniversary. I haven’t dated anyone this long in quite a few years. And we are very happy together…and I hope we’ll be together for many years to come if the last three months are any indication of what our relationship is to be.
.
I will be taking my lap top and web cam on the cruise this week. If you have my Yahoo account (same screen name as my AOL account) email ID, you can log into Yahoo messenger and find me. I’ll be broadcasting occasionally from our owner’s suite on the ship. So, make sure you add me to your contact list! I’ll try and post dates and times that I’ll be broadcasting…content warning, though. I may be wearing brightly colored Hawaiian shirts and drinking heavily. I will be limiting my broadcasts to 15 minutes or so only due to the fact wireless internet access is not cheap on the boat.
.
And by the way…James gave me permission to look at hot Hawaiian guys. But looking only…no touchy touchy!!!
.
Aloha folks! And much love to you and yours!

Weird dreams...

Okay...I dreamt about Ron again last night and it was pretty much the same dream about someone digging up his grave. So, I decided to drive over to the cemetary where he's buried to visit for a while this afternoon. Adam tagged along and we went to lunch over at On The Border in Roseville, and then went to the cemetary a couple of miles from there. We got there around noon, and discovered that the cemetary is going through a major renovation/beautification project. The streets are being repaved and new plants/flowers are going in as well. I managed to get in through the mess over there and found Ron's grave. I discovered that they are digging a trench about a foot or so deep right next to his head stone to install a new sprinkler system!

.

So, I finally figured out what was happening! Ron was pissed off because of all the noise and has been bugging me about it! Those who knew Ron will get it because when he was pissed off, no one was allowed to sleep in that house! We'd stay up all night when he was upset over something and drink a bottle of wine or vodka; whatever we'd have in the house at the time. I guess he's just trying to prove that he's still around watching over us. Maybe now that I went over and validated him a bit, I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight!

Thursday early morning...

Wow...my koi pond is almost done! Adam had to take a break after being attacked a couple of weeks ago, but Tyler came over and helped out today and everything is almost ready to go! We are going in the morning to pick up some more rocks and we have some decisions to make about plants/ground cover...but we should be able to fill it with water by tomorrow or Friday! I'm so excited!

I have two more nights of real estate class and then one full day of a cram session on the 13th to finish getting ready for my state exam on the 30th! I am averaging 75% on my practice questions. I need to get to about 90% to feel comfortable before taking the exam.

.

I've been having really strange dreams for about a week now. For those of you who don't know, my best friend, Ron, passed away in May of 1991. He died due to complications from AIDS at the age of 24. Ron and I met in 1984 in Atlanta while I was still touring in Christian music. He moved to California due to the lack of quality healthcare in Atlanta for HIV-related illnesses at that time. Being this close to San Francisco, he felt (and was absolutely correct) that he would be able to get into clinical trials for new drugs at the time such as AZT.

.

To make a long story short, I have been dreaming about Ron for the last week. The dreams all center around him being discovered alive after being buried for the last 14 years. I don't know what this all means except that in the dreams, his body is unearthed for some unclear autopsy exam related to his cause of death. I think it's for insurance malpractice reasons...but when they open his casket, they discover that he's still alive. Strange dreams, huh? I haven't dreamt of Ron in a very long time. He died at home with his partner Jeff, his family, and myself at his bedside in Roseville...and he's buried right around the corner from the house I shared with him and Jeff when I first moved here from Atlanta. The dreams have been very disturbing and I wish I knew what the significance was...Ron died within 5 months of my father and it was a very difficult time.

.

Well...off to bed. I'll figure all of this out later!
