The Thompsons
It's quite beautiful how generous Brian, Ross, and Mom Thompson are to let a group of people stay the night at their place and be so nice and giving and cool about everything. I especially delighted at Ross' simple "it was a pleasure" at 5 am when I said goodbye. My goodness, how anything can be a pleasure at FIVE IN THE MORNING is beyond me, but I know he meant it, which makes me VERY happy. Oh, and Brian: you are one of my favorite people in the whole world. I am blessed to have you as a friend and have no way to repay you for your kindness. I love to hang out at your place because everyone is so comfortable there... because you and your family are so loving.
