Seeing W at our place on xmas for the first time in a year except for briefly at two noisy parties lit our hearts so much that F and I went to his apartment last night for eggs benedict and a showing of the current Doctor Who christmas special. As a scifi and Who fan it was a real treat and being with him was a real treat as well. Just a reminder that the things we will miss most when we move are the people we like and love in Western Mass.<br /><br />But I do hunger for San Francisco and a somewhat larger community to interact with, What an exciting challenge those millions of straight and gay people in the Bay Area will be after tame, small town white-bread Noho. It has been a long time now since I lived in a city with all its attractions and diversity.&nbsp;<br /><br />I do hear the Imp hunting is better on the West Coast (in joke for you know who you are). urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:jmstine:760 2007-12-19T14:50:39Z 2007-12-19T14:50:39Z <p><br />My partner was offered a full time in architecture yesterday, It was the first time he was ever offered such a position in his chosen field and a red letter day.<br /><br />He turned it down as we are moving to san francisco this summer. That means it is also the first time he turned down a job in architecture. A double red letter day.<br /><br />Made me happy!</p>
