We met when I was a junior and he was a senior in high school, and both of us were in the concert choir and Dominants! vocal jazz and show choir. We became close friends during that year and one night he 'came out' to me. At first I thought he was joking because he didn't fit any of the gay stereotypes with which I was familiar. Later on I nervously came out to him, to which he responded "I know. I knew you were gay before you did." Patrick was instrumental in my physical and mental transformation which prepared me to to come out to my family and leave them and my former religion behind. I could never repay him for this gift!
The weather was pleasant so Spouse, Patrick and I sat outside on the porch (with Marvin & Walter) and began getting caught up.

| Patrick and me - friends for over 35 years! |
Today I took Patrick to Crystal for breakfast, where he got to meet our friend and waitress Pau Pau. Afterward we went for a 2-mile walk on the boardwalk, and then drove around the area a bit before heading home. This evening while Spouse is at his personal trainer appointment, Patrick and I will go for Thai food and then go listen to my friend John play the keyboard and sing at a restaurant. I think Patrick will enjoy that.
He'll be here through Wed morning.

what a cutie! he looks like a great guy! you are lucky to have this person as a friend, dear!
How wonderful that he is there for a nice long visit, plenty long enough to get all caught up on each others news, and then have time just to be enjoy each others company. He sounds like a terrific fella! Did you take him for a ride in Big Ella?
lovely !
