I am glad your sense of adventure won out, and you didn't pass up the opportunity to meet a blog friend. Should you find yourself in New York, lemme know :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854080140004540619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484547437249743996.post-75144933605768976572008-04-15T12:47:00.000-06:002008-04-15T12:47:00.000-06:00I really respect Sue — and her husband — for feeli...I really respect Sue — and her husband — for feeling just OK enough with our proposed meeting to actually let it happen. Life's just too short to spend it defining yourself by what you protect yourself from. <BR/><BR/>I mean, she's married. I had no insidious agenda, nor would I have had any right or reason to. We met in an absurdly public place. We both had other places to be after about ... what, an hour and 45 minutes? It was about as unrisky as a first encounter could possibly be.<BR/><BR/>But ditto to all Sue said. We had instant laughing rapport. We high-fived over our mutual love of Echo And The Bunnymen and "You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round Like A Record Baby Right Round Round Round" ... and we had a good dinner. I felt instantly comfortable sharing some deeper things that had been on my mind of late, and she was an empathetic as well as sympathetic listener. <BR/><BR/>As I said on my blog, just like she said on hers, I think we both knew we had just cemented a lifelong friendship. <BR/><BR/>And the parting hug was worth the trip to Denver. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484547437249743996.post-10256609553256188342008-04-14T22:23:00.000-06:002008-04-14T22:23:00.000-06:00I like it!
