It is time to launder clothes both old and new. Making a checklist for all I will need. Air out the seldom used suitcase. For I am going to a MOM. From the days of thinking I was the only "one" to the day of meeting so many wonderful people who share or understand my path. I have never met so many people I respect so much at one time. Watch out tugon is traveling.

I too am filed with excitement to think that in one week all thirty of us will be gathered together someplace. I respect everyone there. The most humbling part to me is the acceptance of each other for who they are.

I'm so excited about this trip! I worked my last day at work today and am off until I fly, so I'm going to get some USD cash and start washing / packing everything I need. Looks like Minneapolis will be significantly hotter than the UK is at the moment. LOL

Please let me know if there is anything anyone would like me to bring from the UK! (so long as it isn't too big or expensive! LOL)

Will be so lovely to sink a few beers with all of you

Until later ))HUGS((

Hey there 'thefraj', I understand you were in the news again recently. Congratulations. I really look forward to meeting you in person.

Re the heat in MN area, I am a bit concerned about that. I do not handle heat well, but hope that air conditioning will moderate the effect.

I just checked the weather-guessers at weather.com (http://www.weather.com). Their long term forecast is for beautiful weather EXCEPT for the date of the Saturday BBQ in Talula's backyard, when there is a 60% chance of rain (isolated thunderstorms). Fortunately, Kristoff has rented a large circus tent for us to stay dry under should a short rain hit us.

I'm just back (midnight) from the International Academy for Sex Research meeting in Vancouver, Canada. The presentation on voluntary eunuchs went well, and the new president of the organization, Dr. Eli Coleman of Minneapolis, is willing to consider ways that the organization might be able to help.

Now it's time to dump out the suitcase, do my laundry, and head off for a great time with friends, old and new.

Rog,

I am very excited to make your acquaintance at the upcoming meeting as well as many others I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting. It will also be good to renew old friendships.

I'm taking Friday off as a vacation day and can't wait to jump on that airplane and head out to "the great white north". Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
