saying goodbye
heard becca come home early this morning. after sufficiently removing the cobwebs from our eyes, katie and i head into her sister's room. hang out and talk with her. for the first time without any of us being under the influence of alcohol.
we goof around about last nite's events. how katie must use the "you look just like this bartender i know..." line on all the guys. how becca thought i might be some freak out to kill her sister.
pleasantly surprised how well we all get along. it still amazes me. the three of us talking as if we weren't strangers. as if i weren't about to exit their lives as quickly as i entered.
i had bought a bottle of wine back on thanksgiving in denver, co. when i thought i might run into kate. never had a chance to share it with her, or anyone. figure it'll be a nice gift to katie, becca, and mr. meow. a thank you for everything.
i get a quick shower in. put on some fresh clothes. as fresh as they can be at this point. then run out to the deathcab. grab the wine. go back inside the girls' apt one last time. present the wine. katie, of course, accepts. sunday nite is wine nite. give her a hug goodbye. "maybe i'll see you again?" tell becca, "i'll kill your sister next time."

Hey there,
Interesting to read the events of that night and morning through the eyes of someone else. I really enjoy your perspective though - very real - something I value. I would normally apologize for being drunk and difficult when we first met - but that's what this is all about isn't it - a slice of life - meeting and experiencing people where they are at the time you come into their lives??
We've often thought of you and hope you're are doing well. You're invited to Christmas dinner if you happen to be anywhere near El Paso, TX. The Boverie clan (our fam) would provide you with a lot of rich material. Take care.

glad to hear from you so soon! i just finished posting my albuquerque days a few minutes ago. i won't be able to make it for christmas this year. maybe next year? or a different holiday? thanx for the offer. whenever and wherever i settle down, you and katie are more than welcome to visit. open door policy whenever you'd like. and thank you for replying and sharing your views. i've found that the people i meet along the way can say a lot more about what i'm doing than i'll ever be able to. so, thank you. thank you. thank you.
