Answer:
Yes, I got the question, and I haven't answered yet because I was out of town. Two nights at a gorgeous gay-owned B&B in the mountains of West Virginia--no cellphone service; great breakfasts (even the one I was 10 minutes too late to eat!); beautiful forests and crystaline streams; long, narrow, meandering mountain drives; and some pretty wonderful local diners... Couple that with the companionship of a most beloved and loving girl, and you can see why logging online hasn't been a priority.
I'm so happy that our first trip together was not to a leather event. I'm delighted that we both love nature and the mountains and the trees (even though she's a bit wimpy about cool mountain air breezing into the bedroom in our cabin). I'm taking tonight to just mellow out and adjust to being back in the daily grind, but I'll be getting to your other question soon after that.
