Back from visiting N

Just a little private update this time.

I made my first visit to N since mid April yesterday. Well, it's been busy at work, plus we had the trip to southern Wisconsin in early May and then the kids' visit last weekend.

We had planned to go to Ashland, WI, earlier this week to look at cars ... but then I decided I didn't have my ducks in a row--hadn't studied enough. If we had, we would have stopped for dinner in the Ironwood area. I had asked my wife if we could have N join us. She said yes, and N said yes, so it likely will happen sooner or later.

Anyway, she told me a lot about her recent trip to the keeshond show in Oconomowoc--really enjoyed herself. We went out to dinner in Ironwood and returned to her place, where we watched three movies: Buster Keaton's "The General," Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" and Something Weird's "Blaze Starr Goes Nudist." That's some triple feature!

We also watched a pair of Keaton shorts ("The Playhouse" and "Cops") and two Blaze Starr burlesque shorts. In all, we got to bed after midnight--N usually goes to bed around 11. And we had something else to do once we got there. After that, we both slept well.

Rain moved in during the night, and it was a rainy drive home. For that matter, it was cool and damp all day--so cool and damp that my wife made chili for supper.

I took a nap after work and a quick trip to the store. My Ipod is in the car--I'm going to use it again Saturday because at about 7:30 a.m. or so, I'm leaving for the U.P. Track Finals in Kingsford. It's the longest, most demanding day of the year, and I spent a lot of this afternoon trying to prepare as much as I could with a pair of cheat sheets--a timeline schedule, marked up in blue, red and highlighter yellow. Nonetheless, I'm still only one person and can do just so much.

The track finals is a full day of walking almost continuously, all over the place. At least the weather will be a lot better than today. Highs in the 60s and cloudy. So I won't fry, bake, freeze or drown. It still will be about eight hours on the hoof. Won't stay up late tonight (unless the Flyers and Blackhawks stay up late).

Going back to the visit with N last night, I think I'm getting more and more used to using condoms. I'm less aware of their presence--it's now routine when I'm with another gal. And I'm doing OK with them. Next week, I probably will get more experience with them, when I visit S and her GF. (I checked my supply; only four left. Need to get resupplied before long, since the trip to FreedomFest is just a month away.)

That box had 14 condoms when I bought it, and I also had some condoms that B brought along for our visit last summer. Now the supply is down to four.
