Can't Wait to See My Sweetie!

So I've been on my own on the lake for two weeks now.  While I consider myself to be an introvert and actually enjoy (and need) quite a bit of time to myself, even I have reached my limit.

In talking to Kent yesterday, he recommended that I go to Walmart and buy a volleyball and marker and create my own "Wilson" like the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away so I can have someone to talk to.  It's good to have a sympathetic brother.  He and Lydia are trying their darn-dest to get their house sold in Friendswood so they can join me in this winter wonderland.  I think it will be much more fun when I have some company to experience this with me.

I was warned that 75% of the population in Vallecito leaves for the winter and many of those who stay have jobs so they don't have a lot of time to hang out and play with me.  I think I'd feel better if I had internet and my furniture was here.  I don't have much furnishing-wise in the house.  Even still, I'd probably want to drive the 20 minutes south to the library in Bayfield or 40 minutes SW to Durango for some sort of human interaction.

I told Reid I was getting lonely and he said it MUST be serious if I'm getting lonely.  Being the extrovert, he doesn't always see things the way I do.  Thankfully, he's flying in today to spend the week with me including Thanksgiving.   He's got to work a few days so I'm going to take him to the Durango Co-working space (DurangoSpace) where we can both get a good strong internet connection and he can connect with his team via teleconferencing as he so often does.

I had a 10 day trip planned to go to Kona, Hawaii in early December with my dear friends Greg and Chris from the Boulder community but it appears that Reid's custody trial is scheduled for that time so I'll be back in Houston for that on Dec 7th.  I'll forgo the Hawaii trip for now.  Reid promised he'd take me there another time when we could both go and have fun.

So any of my friends who want to come for a visit in a beautiful albeit primitive place....come on.  You may have to sleep on the floor but the heat works and I'll make sure you get fed.  Those who have carpentry skills or just a bunch of energy or ideas for painting and other improvements are especially welcomed.
