I thought about Dan A. this morning -

It was inspired by a conversation I had with my buddy's friend who is staying with him as well.

We started talking about a different subject -

but the conversation - ended - on kind of a theme of relationships -

I went on to get ready - and I thought

because I mentioned Dan in the conversation previously - to mention it here -

Dan and I met during the winter - but then as summer got closer - I knew my impatience level with everything went to the birds - because I do not like heat - well too much heat -

One weekend - Dan was setting his new weighset machine up - in the gym -
(the second bedroom)
and he grew kind of 'bitchy at me' for really no reason at all -

It was hot out - and he had on his sweatshirt - and the window was closed - with no ac -

rather than react - and add flame to just an aggravated boyfriend -

I thought - ok - I opened the window and turned on the fan in the corner -

I said - "Dan - I think you're getting too hot - can you take off your sweat shirt and work in your t?"

he said - "good idea"

so - I left the room - avoided his momentary "bitch" - and he cooled off - and was happier.

He got the gym set done - we went to breakfast - and had a great Saturday together.

I think we all have things that aggravate us-

Disorder - really freaks me out -

too much - and well...

I need to take a 'time out.'

anyway - hope you all have a nice one.

Mark,

Sounds like you handled that one very well. Both of you had your needs met without crossing the boundaries of the other guy, and the danger of a nasty confrontation over something trivial was avoided. One decisive moment that defined the rest of the day!

Much love,
Larry
