Eric flew into town on his broomstick last week. I haven't seen him in 20 years! We've kept in tough via email. Eric is a friend who I can hook up with after years of nothing.
We worked together at the Central Library or the Enchilada Red Library. It was unusual for us to click because he is a librarian and I'm a low-life Circulation Supervisor.
Anyhoo, we got together Thursday for old times sake. We met at Pegasus a bar on the strip. The guy at the gate actually asked for an ID. I told him I'm old enough to be his father. But I thanked him for asking.
Walked in the door and immediately saw him. He still looks the same. He's such a character, when he saw me his eyes opened wide and his mouth was in OMG mode. Gotta love him.
We caught up with each other quickly. I recently gave up drinking and had a bottled water. Hard to believe. And I nursed it the whole time.
We only visited for two hours. He was on a schedule and tried to fit in as many friends as he could. I love him. We've been through a lot together. And no, he's not HIV-. I actually speak to non HIVers.
He's gonna be here for a wedding next year and he's promised to see me.
Chiflaco out.
