Last night was time that was sorely wished for. A good evening with Madd-Gretl.
The start of the evening was actually prior to Madd's arrival, when I went to QT to get Bud Light... and forgot my ID. The clerk who was working said he couldn't sell me the beer, despite my telling him I was 33... so I went back home (after griping about it a bit, more or less good-naturedly) and got my ID then back to get the beer. His eyes got kind of big when he looked at my DOB and he said, "Well, you sure don't LOOK 33!" I kind of giggled, and told him that when I wasn't in a hurry it was amusing and complimentary, and when I was in a hurry it was just annoying!
Madd arrived. I got a HUG and a half, and we cracked open the case. At some point he logged onto AIM to determine what I was talking about when I paged him about "Gretl Hunting" and Eric IM'd me whilst we were online... so Madd and Eric ended up having a conversation about computers, my keyboard was hijacked repeatedly, until I put a stop to the play time. :-)
Took Madd for a scenic drive to see my office building and the house where I'll be moving, talking or simply riding along. It didn't matter. It was just good to spend the time together. We got back to my place and spent about the next three hours talking... on the floor and then on the couch, where it had all started back on August 26...
Bed was headed for around 4am. And that's all I have to say about that. Woke up this morning, finally got up around 10, 10:30, and started doing miscellaneous tasks for work. Ended up in a deep conversation with Paul, while Madd slept and after I had showered. Then Paul signed off, I signed off, Madd got up, and we spent another bit of time together before we both left. Outside, I got another HUG and a half, so hard that I thought my head was going to explode...
*sigh*
I've missed Madd-Gretl time. Terribly. I'm glad I got the time with him, before I left. Before I left the place where so many memories reside for the two of us. Looking around this place, there are many things to remind me of various times with Madd in particular. The memories aren't going anywhere... they're here in this journal and in my mind... only the locale will fade.
I believe, though, that our friendship won't fade. I think back to the night he told me about Melissa... a week before they started dating... and how, that night, I felt the strength and confidence in our friendship. I feel it again. And it's a good feeling.
