Well, I am home from town, I got everything i need for my trip....
I have to admit that I am getting very excited! Like I said I haven't been to San Francisco in 9 years and I feel I am going home away from home...
I hope you wonderful loving people have a fantastic week. I will be staying in Union Square....! My brother is paying for everything...otherwise I could not go.It is so very sweet of him to do this for me. He and his girlfriend are going also. We are going to see The Moody Blues in concert on Thursday, going to do the Bay Tour, Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39, Height and of course The Castro....so many thinks to do there.
You guys please keep an eye on the GLBT and HIV and AIDS forums for me, will you? I will not be near a computer the entire week I don't think. So keep an eye out for me if you will. Thank you.
I am going to attach a Moody Blues song, one of my favorites and when they sing it live I will think of you both....always in my thoughts, always in my prayers and always on my mind.

After he had journeyed
And his feet were sore
And he was tired
He came upon an orange grove
And he rested
And he lay in the cool
And while rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it
And it was good
And he felt the earth to his spine
And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars
And the veins in the leaf
And the light, and the balance
And he saw magnificent perfection
Whereon, he thought of himself in balance
And he knew he was
Just open your eyes
And realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind
And you will find
The way it's always been
Just open your heart
And that's a start
And he thought of those he angered
For he was not a violent man
And he thought of those he hurt
For he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened
For he was not an evil man
And he understood
He understood himself
Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear
It was because he was not understand
And he learned compassion
And with his eye of compassion
He saw his enemies like unto himself
And he learned love
Then, he was answered
Just open your eyes
And realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind
And You will find
The way it's always been
Just open your heart
And that's a start

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation, against nation, against nation
With racial pride
Sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
(shun the light)
They think they're right
(think they're right)
Living in their empty shells
Oh, can you see their bodies thrashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
Angry people in the street
Telling them they've had their fill
Of politics, people who kill
Grow... the seed of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution everyone
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
Let all our brothers come and get some
(so many people, so many people)
Everywhere you go you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
Well look again, come on my friend
Love will find us in the end
Come on my friend
(on my friend)
We've got to bend
(got to bend)
Down on our knees and say a prayer
Oh, can you see the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be
An ever loving family
Have we forgotten who loves who
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and I
Where only love....
(so many people, so many people)
I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
ONE LOVE
ONE HEART
ONE LIFE
you friend,homer
