I both held my breath then exhaled for you, Jelsie. Thank god it's a negative.
Anyh000z...  I've been back from San Francisco (returned Monday evening). My experience there is almost beyond words, but I'll throw a few around as impressions - atmospheric, romantic, haunting, bustling, crisp, soothing, enveloping, necessary, intense, moody, lazy, intoxicating, and.....marvelous. I've made two new frieds. T, the indie filmmaker, with whom I had the most amazing time on a Friday night tikki bar hopping, and who exhibits a sweet boyish screwed up sense of humour parallel to my own. The other new friend is N, an executive in the pharmaceutical industry, an extremely private and secluded man, sensitive, intuitive, intellectual, and otherwise unreachable, even invisible, to those who operate on mainstream frequencies. He and I dined at this superb little Italian place tucked away in Russian Hill and populated by its neighbours, a Woody Allen crowd, and we talked of things most people never do, because they're blithe or scared. Those of you here whose address I have will receive a postcard soon. If you do not, expect one from L.A.

Great news, Jelena, glad to hear it.
Wow, that looks like one incredible town. Wish I was there, and not stuck where I am.

A few new books, Military Small Arms of the 20th Century and To the Limit: An Air Cav Huey Pilot in Vietnam arrived. I've been immensely enjoying them.

Oh man, it certainly is true that an athlete never sees a healthy day, like they say around here.
We had our first and only pre-season football match today and only after ten minutes I banged my head against my brother's head in header situation in our defensive end. I ended up with a broken lip, busted eyebrow and my brother suffered a slight concussion. We certainly are professional players, oh yes we are...

Were you and your brother in the same team and knocked each other out?
*shakes head* Oh, you Finnish men........  j/k I hope you both are feeling better now. And remember: No Koskenkorva for you this weekend.

Yeah, we play in the same team, he as central defenseman and I'm a left defenseman... I didn't communicate anything when it happened. I should've noticed that he was coming to jump at the ball.
Yeah, no Koskenkorva for me today. I'll settle for a nice ice-cold Hartwall Gin Long Drink.

My level of annoyance is through the roof right now. My 'friend' (and I'm using that term loosely right now) has cancelled on me twice in one day!
 What a complete and utter flake, I'm seriously not going to bother with him anymore.

That's a scary thought.
Luckily for me, another friend came to my rescue, so my stunning outfit and artfully lined eyes won't be going to waste tonight!

LOL! I think he'd be more interested in what's inside that stunning outfit.

I think I just ended a no-good friendship today by writing an answer to an e-mail I got the other day. Lately I've been evasive towards this person and I've been hesitating for a long time to speak out that I haven't got enough energy to stay friends with her. She sucks out all my energy when we meet. I feel reduced to being a pair of ears. I really don't think she has noticed the imbalance in our friendship. She takes but hasn't much to give, unless it somehow leads the discussion back to her and her problems. Anyway, without having been rude I hope my message got through to her. [/rant!]

I was in that same type of situation a few years ago, you did best, cut the friendship ties, and move on with life. If she was really a friend to you then everything wouldn’t come back to her and what she wants. You have plenty of friends and friends that care about you, you are better off with out her.
