This past weekend I moved in to an apartment with a sober friend in St. Louis Park. I've got all the major stuff in there, but now I need to organize the nooks and crannies. It was nice to move out of the former commercial space in my Mother's building. I had affectionately dubbed it "The Cave". There was no outside lighting and no fresh air in the space... it would not be a place to live if you had Season Affected Disorder (SAD). My new roommate JR is a great guy and I'm sure we are going to become good friends.
I have to get internet access there and am not sure how I want to get it set up. I may just go with Comcast, they are offering me 6meg service for $20 a month with no contract. I can set up a wireless router then too. I should probably just purchase my own DOCSIS compatible modem and a wireless router. If anyone has suggestions on equipment to buy, let me know.
Last Friday night the
Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus performed with the
Minnesota Orchestra as part of their
Broadway Rocks concert. New Pops conductor Sarah Hicks was on the podium. There were four Broadway stars who were the soloists in the program. We covered a variety of Broadway show music in the performance. Now the TCGMC can concentrate on its own next show "
Wonder: Celebrating the Wonder of Our Inner Child"
. Follow the link for more information. It is going to be a fun show.
This past week I have had a chance to catch up with a few friends on the phone. I talked with IH in Connecticut, JM in Florida, RM and WS in Minnesota, OS in California, and ZM in Malaysia. Something I shipped to ZM several weeks ago finally arrived there. One of the items I had been holding for him for 4 years I think. I have more items to ship to him and now that I know how easy it is, I'll get them sent to him sooner. JM wants me to come to Florida next year for his 27th birthday; he is going with friends to celebrate in Orlando at all the theme parks.
I haven't heard from RT in Singapore in several weeks. I know he was angry and disappointed in me when we last communicated several weeks ago. It is what it is. I know he is dealing with family issues there and may be wrapped up in those problems at this time.
Things are going moving slowly on the job search. Some interesting things are happening at my current employer too. I'm still hoping to move to San Diego, but it is now looking as though it will not be until next summer. One more winter in Minnesota... yech!
