Leaving San Francisco

It's been a whirlwind couple of days, but BarakSF (Tim) and I have been able to see many friends and get the truck mostly loaded (after 4 flights of stairs, the mattress and box springs just missed fitting in the truck and we carried them back upstairs hoping that Tim (BlueDevilSF) will be able to use them:)

An unexpected surprise was that I was able to work in a few theatrical treats... I saw "Southern Baptist Sissies" by Del Shores of "Sordid Lives" fame on Thursday night; saw the UC-Berkley campus, had two wonderful meals with friends and checked out The Powerhouse and Lone Star on Friday. To my pleasure, I ran into Texas Furr (Jeff) at the Lone Star. Jeff and I are friends from his time in Katy, Texas. He's as handsome as ever.

Today I attended the matinee of the National Tour of "Hairspray" and visited with friends who are with the production; Tim and I then attended a joint classical concert given by the Gay Mens Chorus and Womynsong in the evening.

At the concert, Tim introduced me to Cameron (HandleBear), a very sweet man, and my friend John Musselman did us proud as a soloist. After the concert, John, his partner John who is with the costume shop of the LA Opera, their close friend Tom, Tim and I had a late dinner in the Castro.

It was also rewarding to meet some of the men who have befriended Tim in SF and have made his time here a special one. Good people; good friends!

Tomorrow we go to UHaul here in the Bay area, pick up the tow-dolly, attach Tim's car and head back to Seattle. The plan is to get as far as we can tomorrow night, but be checked into a hotel in time for the 2-hour Alias season finale. We do have our priorities straight (well, at least something is...) LOL!

Till next time...

Day Three of Big Move

Tim and I are in Ashland, Oregon again, where we landed in time for the "Alias" season finale. As I noted, the 2 1/2 days in San Francisco were busy, but fun. I was sad when we left the Bay area this morning. We completed loading the truck, then it was time to say goodbye for now to BlueDevilSF (Tim) and BearBrat (Tom).

BarakSF (Tim), Tim and Tom have been good supportive friends to each other and I really enjoy knowing the Furry Mouseketeers. I consider them my friends too. It was just sad because it made Tim's leaving the Bay area official.

It's on to Seattle tomorrow. We'll be packing and loading my belongings on Monday night and Tuesday. I hope to get it all organized in time to make Bearaoke Tuesday night. Tim and I have made the correct decisions to move, but saying goodbyes are always tough.
