3. Actually, I didn't start praying for you.......

...until after I heard you were home.

:patriot:

[GOPisEvil]

4. Tell me about it.

I go back to work tomorrow. Prayers requested and appreciated. ;)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Yay! Welcome home.

it was a sad occasion, but it must've been wonderful to meet Seattle DUers.

[GOPisEvil]

8. I met a lot of great people out there.

Most incredible of all was Andy's mom and his nephews. Very, very good people and strong.

I have to go back though. I missed a few Seattleites. :)

6. Glad you're back!

Welcome Home!:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

10. Thanks!

Seattle was nice (especially the weather this weekend), but home is good.

[bigwillq]

13. I'm sure the services were very nice.

That was really cool that you went. I'm sure it meant a lot to Andy's family.

[GOPisEvil]

14. It was a lovely event.

Andy certainly touched a lot of people. More than can be imagined.

7. excellent!

[GOPisEvil]

12. No more riding in the rain?

:D :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

17. not today

even on three wheels it's not something you want to do if it can be avoided .. we were having flash floods, trees were down, main street was under 3 inches of water ... my house mate insisted in driving behind me for safety sake

[GOPisEvil]

18. Ack!!

We had rain like that last Thursday. It's scary. :scared:

[In_The_Wind]

21. well ... just like you

I'm happy to be home right now

9. I just talked to Termite.....

It was a good moment for him...he says he has good ones and bad ones. What a sweet guy.

[GOPisEvil]

11. It was GREAT to finally meet him.

Andy talked about him all the time. I'm glad he's doing ok.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. This evening anyway.....

Being alone is a new thing for him. Termite and I hit it off immediately. The story of how we met is funny. Andy was leaving for the airport and his car was acting strange...so he went back and exchanged it for Ted's pickup.

Ted had worked late at the Subway the previous night and was only recently out of bed and newly showered when I arrived....and wearing only a towel. The even worse part is that Andy intended to have me follow him, me driving Ted's truck and Andy driving his car, to the dealership so it could be fixed.

Here I am, newly arrived in a city I have never visited and am about to drive this person-whom-I-have-just-met's truck. He had no clue what kind of driver I am (a good one....) but didn't bat an eyelash.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Their relationship seemed to be filled with moments like that.

They were excellent partners for one another. It's going to be rough, but Ted has excellent friends like you to help him. He also has Andy's mom to lean on too. She is an amazing woman.

19. Hey you're home!

Glad you make it back safe!

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

20. Thanks!

Unlike Mr. Pitt's, my flights were lovely. I even landed here in Austin 5 minutes early. :7

:hug:

[SOteric]

22. I'm very glad

that you didn't end up in a Pennsylvania airport with a heart full of hate.

And I'm happy to hear y'all enjoyed the Pagliacci's. Mmmm... good stuff, that.

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

24. I arrived at the gate 5 minutes early.

My friends at DU kept me company during my layover in Denver. Aside from a minor issue turning into a 1-hour delay Thursday night, all went very well on this trip.

Mmmm...pizza. Also, Barbara has developed a serious taste for gelato. Gelatiamo was quite delicious. Our server even seemed to be a real Italian, judging by her looks and accent.

23. get busy!
