I&#8217;ve had a little digestive trouble. And I&#8217;m missing Paul, the guy I met in Rio. In fact, I called him today. We have a good email thing going, but haven&#8217;t figured out chat yet. I&#8217;d like him to come visit, but it doesn&#8217;t look like that can happen until May when he finishes his architect stint in Rio.<\/p>\n<p>I visited Steve night before last for dinner in the Castro. I felt a bit put off&#8230; he didn&#8217;t greet me very enthusiastically as he was cleaning his electric toothbrush in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Lance has found a new job! It&#8217;s for a good nonprofit cause as well. But his cell phone is cut off and so I can&#8217;t call him for a week. He&#8217;s getting his act together at home over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I tried meeting up with Matthew on Thursday evening as well, but he was too busy with work.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling frustrated that after two weeks in Brazil no one I&#8217;m &#8220;dating&#8221; seems that keen on seeing me.<\/p>\n<p>So instead, I&#8217;m at home upacking, doing the laundry, and reading Mercedes Lackey&#8217;s &#8220;The Fire Rose.&#8221; I&#8217;ve reserved a bunch of Spanish language books from the library so I can start talking with Paul in Spanish. Actually, I&#8217;m surprised I didn&#8217;t take up Spanish earlier since I live in the Spanish-speaking area of San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, I&#8217;m back from Brazil and adjusting to the time zone.
