Pastries at the Zoo: Muffin, Bagel and Cheese on a Stick

LOL - was just humming "jolly holiday" from Mary Poppins. Today was Dave's last day in San Francisco - he flies out at 1030pm for his 14 hour flight home.

Today we hit the San Francisco Zoo with David's good friend Kelly - and had a great time.

I took lots and lots of animal photos - full gallery here. Particularly cool was the new bear exhibit, the sea otters and giraffe "savannah". It was a beautiful day - and we had a giggly laughter-filled day out.

I'm going to miss David a lot - he's a sweet wonderful man. He's been an incredible person to meet and spend such quality time with. He's silly, sensitive, smart and disarmingly adorable. I know he and I are going to be friends for a long long time. We're both in such similar spaces - in that wierd - whatthehellisnext^tm after the end of relationships. He's also a real good influence and a steady mind to bump things off. He is definitely a keeper. We said several times this weekend - if it weren't for the 7416 mile swim? we'd be sweeping each other off our feet. He has made the last few days a relaxing wonderful - uncomplicatedly blissful time.

You 2 really have had an awesome time, haven't you?

And I can understand why... Dave certainly has that disarmingly gorgeous smile! :-)

Here it's getting more common for Canadians to sponsor their same sex spouses/lovers for immigration. I realize that wouldn't be possible for the US, but what if David sponsored you to where he lives?

Eh?

You might see what I said to cuyahogarvr in another comment. I don't think one uproots his life and moves across the world after the first date. which for all sakes and purposes - this was - a five day long first date. it's nice romantic thought though - - but he says getting immigration as an HIV+ person moving to Australia is very difficult. but if we choose to cross that bridge - we will when we come to it. For now? I love Dave! he loves me! and we're close close friends.

Otters

Okay, the picture of the three of you in the mirror surrounded by otters is really CUTE! (Okay, yes, I have a thing for otters)
Anyway, if he's a keeper, then why let him go??????

well, I'm not "letting him go" - but he also lives 7000 miles away. and having just moved here a year ago - - the thought of moving that far... its just like taking what i did in moving to San Francisco and multiplying it by bajillion. Dave and I both said - over and over - and I was putting him in the cab to the airport.... "This is just the beginning of a long path together... and who knows where it is going to lead." We love one another - thats clear. and one day at a time - we'll see what else might happen.

(and I can start saving clams for a trip to Sydney)

I can certainly understand that, but my long distance relationship is nowhere near 7000 miles.
I bet, if you visited Australia, you would fall in love with it too and never come back.
I'm just saying.
