My last seven-day week began and I felt very good about what I accomplished in the first two weeks on the job. I was still on an adrenaline high from my live remote shows last week. I began working with Angela for creating ideas on new weekly remote shows. She worked with Betty who had a number of ideas to start with from her community affairs perspective.
The morning shows continued to go well. Ross and I continued to get to know each other better, and our on-air presence flourished into a well-balanced team. I made it a point to get to know Jennifer better and soon she and I had developed a good relationship both on-air and off the camera. We often joked around in the newsroom and had breakfast together in between the morning and noon shows.
I tried my hardest to win Vicki over. However, all of my efforts seemed to go nowhere. I finally came to the realization to focus my energy in a different direction where I'd see positive, tangible results. It was obvious on set that Vicki was the group outcast. I thought back to what Ross had shared with me on my first day about Vicki. She seems very unhappy and not willing to be a team player. Perhaps it's best for her to move on to another market if she's that unhappy in St Petersburg.
Before I knew it, my third week at the station had come to a close. I knew that I will have to pull some more seven-day work weeks in the future due to vacation coverage. For now, though, I was ecstatic to have three long weeks under my belt.
Life at the condo continued to be all that I expected and more. Wally and I continued our daily grind, knowing we will soon have more time together on the weekends. We both made the most of our free time, and I enjoyed our late afternoon showers together when he returned home from work. Wally was putting in extra work usually in the mornings to complete two jobs prior to his company vacation shutdown. I was concerned about his aggressive schedule and did my best to relieve his daily pressures as best as I could for him.
Ronny picked up his truck, and we all went out for a celebratory new-vehicle dinner! He's so proud of his purchase, and is looking forward to getting started at the station. I must say, I'm not usually one to go for a pickup truck. Ronny's truck is very nice though, and fits our circle very well. Wally is envious, and now wants a new truck for his company!
Bailey and Ronny scheduled several meetings together ahead of his start date. Bailey got Ronny set up with security access and he did a set of "welcome Ronny commercials" just as he had done with me. Ronny enjoyed spending time at the station ahead of starting his job. He was able to meet people ahead of time, got all of his human resource work out of the way and enjoyed being back in a television station environment. He is studying the Tampa area sports teams extensively knowing that any knowledge he can bring into his start will be beneficial for him and the station. Paul took him on a number of interviews where he got to meet players from the Rays and Lightning.
Outside of the station, Alex and Ronny continued to get to know each other better. Ronny assisted Alex with odd jobs around the complex in order to help him out. They spent their free time lounging around the pool enjoying each other's company. Each passing day finds them falling more in love with each other.
Ronny continued to ask me about paying his fare share in rent. He did not feel right living in the condo for free and wants to make a monthly contribution. I finally told him "I'm not opposed to accepting rent from you. Let's wait until your first pay in August, and see how you're going to do with the truck payment and any other payments you have." Ronny replied "I only have the truck payment, and I have no school loans or credit card payments. I do agree with you about waiting just in case. We'll decide an amount in August. Is that okay with you CJ?" I smiled, ruffled my friend's hair and said "that is perfectly acceptable Ronny."
Trevor started at the station on July 19th, in advance of his first weather show on July 22nd. Bailey asked me to be a mentor for Trevor since I had recently learned all items that he will need to become accustomed to on his weekend shows. I was honored that Bailey asked me versus Daniel to serve as a mentor to Trevor. I said to Bailey "are you sure about this? Daniel has more seniority than I do Bailey." Bailey cracked up and said "CJ, I have never been surer about pairing people up than I am now. Did I ask Daniel to mentor you?" I looked at Bailey and said "no, not really. He's offered me advice and helped out with my questions. I've learned more on my own though due to my hands on work." Bailey smiled, looked at me and said "exactly, you are an energetic self-starter. I want Trevor to see your energy and replicate it. Take him under your wing CJ, and help me to create a CJ junior!" I got a big grin on my face and said "I will do that Bailey!"
Bailey took care of all the orientation, human resource and security work for Trevor and then turned it over to me for the weather and news operations. Bailey brought Trevor into the studio and introduced us after the last morning show. I said "Trevor, it's great to meet you and I'm looking forward to working with you." Trevor replied "thanks CJ. I am looking forward to working with you also. Bailey let me view a number of your shows, and I hope to be as smooth as you someday on the air. I know I can learn a lot from you." I said "I was able to watch one of your shows Trevor. I'm impressed with your solid background and will be happy to show you what knowledge I have picked up and share my experiences with you. First, let's start out with breakfast at the newsroom hangout. I promise you the best breakfast sandwich you have had in your life at this place." Trevor cracked up and said "sounds good CJ, let's go for it."
I introduced Trevor to Nick, Angela and Zach. I said to Trevor "these individuals will become your best friends in the newsroom! I've learned so much from them, and they're great to work with. Will you three join Trevor and I for breakfast? I'm going to take him to our breakfast sandwich place for his introduction to Cecilia and the crew."
Soon, the five of us unloaded from the news van into the restaurant. Cecilia was at the cash register and greeted us with a cheerful "good morning, everyone. How are you doing today?" I replied "good morning, Cecilia, we're doing good this morning. Cecilia, this is Trevor and he is starting at the station today." Cecilia smiled, shook Trevor's hand and said "welcome Trevor, it's nice to meet you. I'm glad to see the gang starting you out right with breakfast here." We all laughed at her comments, and followed her to a table.
We left Trevor scan the menu and soon all of us ordered our drinks and breakfast. Angela started in with the questions first and asked Trevor "tell us about yourself, and how you ended up in St Petersburg?" Trevor introduced himself saying "I just graduated in May from college outside of Nashville, Tennessee with a major in public communications and broadcasting. I wanted to end up in a southeastern market, and I was fortunate enough to land the job here in St Petersburg."
Our conversation continued and the more I heard from Trevor, the more I liked him. We went back to the station, and Trevor and I began his training on the systems, station portal and email. Trevor impressed me on the weather graphics, and soon he was fully functional. He was able to create a weather segment within one hour. I said "keep practicing, and give me a yell with any questions. You have got this down Trevor; you're going to do a great job." He said "thanks CJ. I am so excited to be here, and I know we're going to make a great team together."
Daniel came in early and Angela and Zach took videos of the three of us for several channel 2 weather team promos. Daniel was in the middle of the shoots; I was to his left and Trevor was to his right. After the shots I said to myself "we're an excellent looking team. I hope we take over the ratings for the top weather team in the Tampa Bay area market."
I finished up my updates for the noon weather show and Trevor watched me. I showed Trevor how to load his segment to the switcher, as Angela watched us with a big smile on her face. Angela said "we want to introduce Trevor today after your segment CJ. Trevor, as CJ finishes his segment and goes back to the anchor desk, you approach from the other side and stand next to Ross. CJ will introduce you and ask you a few general questions. Does this sound okay to both of you?" We both replied "yes, Angela no problems at all."
Trevor came into the studio, and watched the newscast from there. The weather segment went well, and Trevor entered the shot next to Ross while I finished up the 10-day forecast. As I sat down at the desk, the camera went live on us and I said "Ross, we have a special guest joining us today. I'd like to introduce our audience to Trevor Anderson who will be starting the weekend weather broadcasts this Saturday. Trevor, welcome and tell the audience some fun facts about yourself." Trevor smiled and replied "thanks CJ. I'm Trevor Anderson and this is my first job in the television broadcasting industry. I'm originally from Nashville, Tennessee and very happy to be in the St Petersburg area. I've been here for a couple of weeks now, and I'm very impressed with the city and the fine community. I'm looking forward to becoming an integral part of the weather team and the community." Ross asked two more questions of Trevor and went to a break after Trevor answered his final question. We all appeared at the desk for the final closing with Ross saying "Trevor, welcome to channel 2. I know that between you, CJ and Daniel the audience will have the best weather coverage in the bay area. Thanks for joining us today, and join us again tomorrow. Have a good afternoon, everyone."
The camera went off, and I stood up and shook Trevor's hand. I said "great job Trevor, you're going to do a fine job here!" Before I knew it, Trevor gave me a bro hug and said "thanks CJ. Working with you today was fantastic. You made me relax, and that was great to talk with you and Ross on air today." Ross also gave a handshake to Trevor and said "great job Trevor. I know we won't be working together immediately, but I look forward to doing more shows with you. Follow CJ's lead, and you two will soon be the top meteorologists in the Tampa Bay market."
Trevor replied "thank you Ross. I look forward to working with you. Thanks for not being too rough on me with questions today!" I took Trevor back to my office and said "did you check out your office yet?" He said "no, I did not think I'd have an office." I pointed to his, which was right across from mine. He saw his name tag and said "wow, this is great. Do you work in your office much?" I told him "I usually work in the newsroom when I can. There are times when the newsroom is chaotic, and I come in here to finish up weather segments. Let's go check out your computer and make sure it's all set up for you. You should be able to access everything like you did in the newsroom this morning." Trevor logged on to his computer fine and he had a new email from Bailey. He opened it and it said "Good opening session for you today. I like the chemistry already between you, CJ and Ross. Based on what I saw today, I want to get you in the field for some news reports along with your weekend weather segments. I've asked Nick, Angela and Zach to look for assignments for you. Keep up the great job Trevor! Get out of here when you want and enjoy your evening."
Trevor said "wow, does Bailey watch the news often?" I said "as far as I know, he watches every show when he can. I have learned so much from him already. Take his suggestions, learn from them and run with them if they feel good to you." Trevor filed the email and said "I'll do that CJ. Thank you again for everything."
I asked Trevor "what are you doing for dinner today?" He said "probably get take out from someplace and stay in my temporary rental." I smiled and said "nonsense, how about coming back to my condo and have dinner with me and my friends? You can meet Ronny Bradford who starts on July 31st as the new sports anchor." Trevor smiled and said "that sounds good, but I don't want to impose." I replied with "no imposition whatsoever. You can either follow me now, or I'll give you directions if you want to come over later." Trevor said "thanks CJ. I want to do a few more things here, go change my clothes and then I'll be over."
I gave Trevor directions and my cell number if he gets lost. I said "where is your temporary rental at?" He told me, and I replied "you're less than two miles from my place." Trevor said "perfect, how does 3:30 sound to you? I said "sounds great. Are you a beer, liquor or wine man? Also, any food allergies?" He smiled, cracked up and said "I like all three beverage types, and enjoy all food except anchovies." I said "sounds great, you're going to fit into the group well."
I called ahead to Ronny and told him "Hey stud. I'm bringing Trevor home for dinner tonight. He will be there around 3:30. What sounds good for dinner to you?" Ronny replied "how about something simple on the grill? If you want, I'll go to Publix and get some fish and fixings?" I said "Ronny that sounds wonderful. Grab some more whiskey and we'll go with strawberry whisky lemonade tonight?" Ronny said "I'm on it CJ, see you at the condo."
I got back to the condo at 1:30 and texted Wally to inform him of our guest. He replied with "sounds great CJ, I'll be on my best behavior!" I texted back with "love you stud, see you later." I then sent a text to Alex to inform him about dinner plans with Trevor. He replied with "sounds good. I'm in the middle of some repairs, but I should have everything finished up by 4:00 to 4:30. See you later."
Ronny returned to the condo before 2:00. I greeted him and said "thanks so much for your help. How much do I owe you for dinner?" Ronny said "nothing CJ. My treat tonight. I've got flounder and grouper, salad fixings, asparagus and some appetizers. I also got more whiskey and drink fixings for marinating sauce. I swung by the deli and got another one of those wonderful cheesecakes for dessert. Let's get things prepared."
I made the salad, and Ronny fixed up two batches of drinks for us along with more for marinating the fish. He placed the fish in two dishes and poured the drink mixture over them to begin the marinating. We put the salad and fish in the refrigerator and then got the asparagus ready for grilling. I texted Wally and Alex saying "grouper, flounder, salad, asparagus and cheesecake for dinner. Strawberry whiskey lemonade for beverages, or whatever you want. See you both later." I received thumbs up emojis from both of them.
Trevor arrived promptly at 3:30. I greeted him at the door and welcomed him in. I said "how about a tour of the place first, then we can have a drink and appetizers before the rest of the crew arrives?" Trevor said "sounds wonderful CJ." Ronny came out of his bedroom and said "Hello Trevor. I'm Ronny Bradford, and it's great to meet you." Trevor said "likewise Ronny. I understand you're starting on July 31st as a sports anchor?" Ronny smiled and said "yes, I am. I'm looking forward to getting started. It's so great to be starting fairly close to you and CJ. We'll be the new kids on the block!" We all laughed at that comment and I said "I'm going to show Trevor around the place, then we'll have a drink." Ronny said "sounds great. I'm going to check on Alex and see when he is coming up."
I showed Trevor the kitchen, dining and living rooms first and told him about some of the changes I've made. We then went into the master bedroom and bathroom. Trevor said "wow, that is one impressive shower! It makes my rental bathroom look so small and depressing." I smiled and told him the story about how I came into the condo, my parents and the shower renovations before their death. He looked at me and said "CJ, I'm so sorry. You've done well for yourself, and I'm sure your parents are smiling down upon you with great pride and love." I said "thanks Trevor, I know they are. My uncle UD, who you'll meet soon, convinced me to keep the condo after their death. I used it as rental property until I moved down here in May to start the job. I'm so glad I did, as I've enjoyed making changes and love the condo and the St Pete Beach area." We finished the tour up in the guest bedroom, guest bathroom and office. Trevor commented again on the guest bathroom and said "I hope I can find someplace like this soon. I'm afraid that my income will limit me on my choices." I said "do you think you'll take a long-term lease on your temporary rental?" He said "I already checked into that, and I can only do a three-month lease there. They do not offer anything longer than that and treat the complex as a temporary corporate housing unit." I said "I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you. If I hear of any rentals, condos or apartments available, I'll let you know."
We went back out to the kitchen and Ronny said "what can I get you to drink Trevor? I've made up my special strawberry whiskey lemonade, or we have other liquors, wine and beer." Trevor said "let me start with your special please Ronny!" I said "I'll join Trevor with one Ronny." Ronny pulled out three glasses and filled them up for us. We went out to the patio and I gave Trevor the final tour around the patio. He looked at me after I showed him the pub area and said "Wow CJ, this is very impressive. I love it and the patio area is so big. The views of the gulf are spectacular." I said "thanks Trevor, this is our usual hang out place. The ceiling fans have really helped to circulate the air out here and it's usually very comfortable."
We sat down in the television area, and I turned on a music channel. Trevor took a sip of his drink, smiled and said "very nice Ronny -- excellent flavor". Ronny said "glad you enjoy it Trevor, I also use it as a marinade sauce for fish. You'll love it on the fish as well." Trevor said "sounds wonderful, I can't wait to try it."
We began our conversation with Trevor. I said "Trevor, Bailey tells me you're a runner. Is that true?" Trevor replied "yes, I am. Is there a group at work by any chance?" I said "Ronny and I do run on occasion. We're going to start training for the Gasparilla race to be held in February. They have a 5k, 15k and half marathon. Betty, our director of community relations, is finding out information on registration and if we can do a remote show from there. Ronny and I want to get a team formed and run the race all together. We hope to gain good PR from it, as well as a team building exercise at the station." Trevor smiled and said "count me in guys. That sounds like fun and I think it will be good for the station." I said "that's great. With you we have six now, and we have not advertised it to the whole station yet. Right now, there is not much solidarity at the station. Bailey is psyched about our ideas, and we hope to get a true team environment phased in there. Betty is also checking into the Bay Area Corporate Challenge to see what it takes to form teams for various sporting events in the Tampa Bay area." Trevor said "wow, that will be great if both items occur. I am ready to participate in both of those."
We continued discussing activities in the area, restaurants, stores and many other topics. Trevor said "I'm in the need for some new suits, do either of you have recommendations?" Ronny and I both smiled and I said "we sure do! One of us can take you to the men's apparel store that we're both using. They had an excellent sale going for the July 4th holiday. Perhaps we can talk to Charlie at the store and get him to extend the savings to you. We have each bought suits, shirts, ties, pants and sports jackets from there." Ronny chimed in and said "Trevor, if you are free tomorrow, I'll take you to the store and introduce you to Charlie. It takes about a week to do alterations, so you may want to get an order in sooner than later." Trevor smiled and said "Ronny, that will help me out tremendously! I'm going to go into the station tomorrow until 1:00, but I can meet up with you after that if your schedule permits?" Ronny said "that sounds good Trevor." I said "hey, I can make it at that time also. Want to all go over together?" Trevor said "that sounds good guys. I'll change and meet you both here at 2:00?" Ronny said "that works for me. I'm going to check out one or two more suits. Trevor, did Bailey give you the station gear?" Trevor said "no he didn't." I said "after the morning shows tomorrow, we'll get you set up with the gear bag, polos, shirts, a jacket and their swim suits which no one wants! Ronny and I like them though." Trevor said "that sounds good CJ, thanks."
Alex walked in and said "hello everyone." He grabbed a drink for himself and joined us on the patio. I introduced him to Trevor and Alex said "nice to meet you, Trevor. I saw your newscast a couple of weeks ago and your introduction today. You're doing a great job." Trevor said "thanks Alex, I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to working with CJ, Ronny and everyone at the station." Before Wally came in, I forewarned Trevor that he is the joker of the group. I said "he will probably ask you if you're free balling and if you're not he will challenge you to go free balling when you're here." Alex said "he's harmless, don't worry Trevor. If you want to quiet him down, just stand up pull your shorts and underwear down and throw them at him!" We all laughed at that and Trevor said "thanks for the warning, guys. I love joking around, and maybe if I get one more drink in me, I will throw my underwear at him." I went in and grabbed the pitcher of drinks and refilled our glasses. I said "a toast to Trevor. Welcome to our group, to the station and to St Petersburg. We wish you the best of luck with everything, and if you need our help just give us a yell." We all clanked our glasses together and Trevor responded "thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words and can tell I'm going to enjoy being part of the group."
Wally came into the condo about ten minutes later. He came right out to the patio and said "hey everyone, good to see you. Trevor, it's nice to meet you. I'm Anthony Walters, but prefer my nickname of Wally." Trevor stood up and stuck out his hand to Wally. He replied "it's great to meet you, Wally. I understand you own your own construction company?" Wally replied "yes, I do Trevor. I've been doing construction for almost 20 years now and enjoy it tremendously. CJ, you care if I take a shower and wash off the excess grime and sweat. Otherwise, I may offend all of you throughout dinner." Alex cracked up and said "for the love of God CJ, let him shower please!" Ronny began an all out laugh attack and I joined him. I looked at Wally, winked and said "go for it big guy. You know where the soap, shampoo and towels are at. Help yourself." Wally grinned, winked back at me and headed for the shower.
While Wally was showering, Trevor took a big swig of his drink and said "guys, I need to disclose something to all of you and I hope it does not offend anyone." I smiled at Trevor and said "this condo is a no-offense zone. Whatever you want to share is perfectly fine with all of us Trevor." He took another drink and said "thanks CJ. You all are being so nice to me and I want to get something out before our friendship goes any further. I am gay guys, and I hope that this does not make any of you uncomfortable." The three of us smiled and Alex got up off his chair, went to Ronny and gave Ronny a long kiss. Alex then turned to Trevor and said "I hope that didn't offend you but I'm gay as well and in love with Ronny." Ronny smiled and said "it's true. I've known I am gay since high school, and I met Alex the first day I came here for the job interview. He knocked me off my feet, and we'll share the rest of the story with you as we get to know each other better."
I leaned over and put my arms around Trevor and said "welcome to our circle friend. I'm gay as well, and Wally is my partner. We met the first day I moved to St Pete Beach, and we're head over heels in love with each other."
Trevor smiled and gave us a look of relief. He said "everyone thanks, you made that easier than I thought it would be. I'm not going to advertise this at the station, but I felt very comfortable around you three and decided I needed to disclose it." I smiled and said "Trevor, Ronny and I are also going to keep our sexual orientation on the down low at the station. It's no one's business but ours. Your secret is safe with us, and we want the same discretion from you. Sound like a plan to you?" Trevor got up, gave everyone a hug and said "deal gents!"
Wally came out on the patio and said "what did I miss? We all cracked up and Alex was first to speak up. He looked at Wally and said "you're far too young and immature to handle the conversation we just had. I'll find a book for you to read about the topic so you can understand it at your pace you hairy ass bear!"
Trevor started laughing uncontrollably and fell back into his chair. He composed himself and said "Wally, I understand you have one house rule which I want to follow." He got up pulled his shorts down and pulled his underwear off. I know Alex, Ronny and I were shocked when we saw a thick beer can cock on Trevor with a huge PA through it. Wally was taken back and speechless. Trevor said "there, I'm free balling for you and will continue to observe your house rules when I'm here!" Trevor then picked up his underwear, threw them at Wally and hit him in the face. I've not seen my man blush like he did at that moment. Trevor then walked over to Wally, pushed his chin up and gave him a hug and kiss. He said "I'm gay Wally, and I hope you'll accept me into the circle along with all of you?"
Ronny, Alex and I could not stand it any longer and busted out in loud laughter. Alex said "he's speechless, someone give me my camera I need to capture this!" Wally soon joined in on the laughter along with Trevor. Trevor smiled at him, put his shorts back on and said "got you good Wally. I'm a big-time joker also as you will come to find. The PA is a college dare which I was stupid enough to accept. I've found some men though who love the feel of them, so I've kept it for about four years."
Wally got a drink and asked everyone to raise their glasses. He said "to our newest group member Trevor. I'm glad you are a fellow free baller, and I see nothing but fun times, true friendship and wonderful adventures with us in the future. Welcome to the FB club my friend!" We all took a drink and clanked our glasses.
I said "anyone hungry? After that turn of events, I'm starved for some fish from chef Ronny!" Ronny said I'll start getting things ready in the kitchen." Alex said "I put two bottles of white wine in to chill. I figured we may want to switch to that with the fish." I said "perfect. I'll start the grill, and get tableware set out for us. Wally and Trevor, you two relax and continue on the topic of discussion."
The kitchen is not big enough for three! I left Alex and Ronny go as they were getting off on rubbing asses and their crotches together. I enjoyed my drink and my view from a barstool. Wally and Trevor were getting loud on the patio. I can hear Trevor's southern accent becoming more present as he gets to know my man better.
Ronny got the fish and asparagus grilling. Alex served everyone a glass of wine along with the salad and an appetizer tray. I set the table and got everyone a glass of water. Soon, we were enjoying Ronny's fish which was even better tonight than the first time he served it. Trevor smiled and said "Ronny, this is a kick-ass flavor. I never thought the combination you created would be such a great marinade. Do you use this on any other meat?" Ronny said "it's good on pork and chicken also if you want something different than a barbeque sauce." We all ate up, enjoyed the wine and our conversation continued to flow well into the early evening.
Once we were finished, Ronny said "does anyone want to finish off with cheesecake and coffee?" Everyone said "yes, that sounds good." Alex and Ronny cleaned up and went into the kitchen to get dessert and coffee ready. Trevor, Wally and I continued conversations about multiple topics. I finally said "Trevor, do you enjoy poker?" Trevor smiled and said "hell yes CJ! I love a good poker game. This patio is an excellent place for several tables to get going. The keg is an added bonus for a long and wild night!" I said "I'll let you know when the games are, and hopefully you can make it. Did you and Bailey decide your weekend schedule?" Trevor said "yes, we did. I'm going to do Saturday and Sunday mornings along with Sunday evening. Sundays will be a long day for me and that's why he's going to go with radar only on Saturday nights. Saturday night is the least viewed broadcast, so my Saturday afternoons and early evenings are good." I said "one more question for you. Cigars with beer and poker for you?" Trevor held up his hand and gave me a high-five. He said "it's like we were separated at birth, I love a good cigar CJ." Wally cracked up and said "he's a definite keeper into the circle!"
Ronny and Alex returned with cheesecake, toppings and coffee for everyone. We all enjoyed the dessert and continued the wonderful conversation. Before we knew it, the time was approaching 8:00 pm. I looked at everyone and said "I hate to break this up gentlemen, but I need to hit the sack for my 1:30 wake up call. Trevor, please stay if you want to. Perhaps you four can get into a dart game for the evening closer." As I got up from the table, Trevor also rose. He extended his arms and gave me a hug. He said "thank you for everything today, CJ. I'm going to really enjoy working with you, and I want to thank you for introducing me to all of your handsome friends. I look forward to getting to know everyone better and I owe it all to you." I said "thanks Trevor, and I return all those positive words right back to you. Please enjoy the rest of the evening and I'll see you tomorrow." I gave everyone else a hug.
When I got to Wally, I also gave him a kiss and whispered "I love you so much Wally! Thanks for making Trevor feel welcome. I can't wait for Friday night to take advantage of you stud!" He smiled and said "sleep well babe. I'll be in later."
I completed my evening routine and got into bed. I smiled thinking about the day today. Never in my life did I expect Trevor to say he is gay. My gaydar has failed me on this individual. I'm happy he is so comfortable around us. I also have an idea to help him with his finances so he can get out of the temporary housing. I need to work on it more, and discuss it with Wally. I soon drifted off to sleep with another project to plan in my mind. My circle of influence is growing, and I cannot be happier with my life than I am now.
