"A Problem Page For All!"

Ah. Well, he arrived latish on Friday night. And he's fitter and tanner and sunburnter than when I last saw him. At the New Year's party he looked kind of like your teddy bear stuffed into your baby doll's overalls -- adorable, sexy even, but not like svelte hot hot hot! After spending a summer building straw bale houses and sleeping in a tent on site, that's, um, changed.

We had a nice evening talking and laughing and eating. He went to sleep on the couch bed in the living room around one or two a.m. I went to bed absoltely exhausted, convinced I had more of a raging crush on him than ever.

He left in the morning yesterday before any of us were up, and that was that. 48 hours in retrospect, I believe I don't have to decide that I'm wildly in love with him, just because I adore him as a person and, well, a friend. He fits in extremely well to our family. We all love him and we've decided we'd like to adopt him!

He may stay overnight on the way home from camp, in a week or so, depending on his travel plans. I'd love to see him again!

...But damn, he's hot!
