2x meditations in the am went well considering we walked the dogs prior, which tends to result in wheels spinning. Soffaking tired of the routine venting about Linda and Tommy but OMFG they both dominate things way too much. I love him and if he reads this in 10 years I hope he can admit for once that he's been a parasitic asshole. I get being 17 but for fucks sake enough is enough. Mean, rude, dismissive and high conflict can only be tolerated for so long. Anyway, really good work day with a very positive Frakture meeting and some significant progress on Frakture and Reston, VA. I'm so looking forward to a couple of days off. Starting tomorrow. Dinner w/geeks for 1st time in about a year was epic. DCG. Wine was phenomenal, especially the 2013 Ridge Zin. Thank you Jess and Bev. And BL picking up the tab was so generous too. This was a much needed night for me. Laughter, sincerity, comradarie and friendship. I've said before what a great dynamic exists in this "fourum" - it's a beatle-esque environment wherein the sum of the parts combine to make a greater force than the individuals. I'm grateful to have this. The impromptu appearance of Wendy and Jen threw me but was fun and in the end some connections might spawn future gatherings. Looking forward to that. Lauren managed the dogs wonderful, no idea what Tommy did w/his time but hope he worked towards some revenue for his car. Afternoon helping of Linda at Funada appointment was a clusterfuck of timing mishaps and frustration but at the same time, as I told JS, seeing Linda in an incapacitated state really hits home and inspires me to be more humane and kind than I knew I had in me. I'm also glad to know it's there. I hope to nurture and grow that further in the years ahead.
