As I was driving away from Phoenix this morning I had that familiar feeling of leaving people that I do not want to be apart from. I have gotten this before, usually when I travel back east.

I went to Phoenix to visit my good friends, Bryan and David and my ex, Fred. Yeah there is no skiing down here(especially this year), but it has been nearly I year since I saw David and Bryan. They have a standing brunch date with their group of friends on Sunday (Feb 26th). The entire group meets for coffee and then brunch. I snapped a bunch of other pics during brunch(Mike, Bryan and David, Joe, Bryan and David and Brian and Bryan).

I managed to get a cold before arriving so I spent the rest of the stay popping vitamins, sudafed and dayquil. I spent Monday and Tues getting caught up on things. Got my laundry done and everything re-packed. Caught up on email and sent out a bunch of postcards (although I did not get the car cleaned and damn it needs it). Fred invited me over for Dinner on Monday night and it was good to see that he is doing so well.

On Wednesday night, Bryan and David took me out for my Christmas Gift dinner. The took me out for nice french meal at Sophies. As you have been hearing me bitch out, the weather in Phoenix has been alittle hot for my taste, but it did mean we could dine outside on March 1st??? The food was great, but David’s sauce on Tues night was better than the sauce on my dish at Sophies

David left me a message this morning. Among the complaining about computer problems at work, he said, “…I wish that you lived closer so we could do this all the time….”.I do wish I lived closer too.
