I had lunch with Roy today, which is always a bright spot in my week. We've been good friends for over 20 years and I'm so grateful that I know him. He's a good man (and very funny). Too bad he's gay... or maybe that's the reason we get along so well. Regardless, he makes me happy. He ordered turkey pot pie and we were both laughing hysterically when it came. And I got to bring half of it home!

Thank you, Charles, for your support. I wish I didn't have to drive, but sadly, in the Houston area, it's just not an option. Damn, if I'd just had a kid who lived with me now and could be my chauffeur. Or if Shaban would like to move to America, tell him he's welcome here.
