Dear Denise,

You'd think I'd want out of cold into de nice warm weather of say Boca
Raton.  To expose your special attributes from an electric wheelchair open
to the north winds doesn't make sense from the point of view of an affluent
wanderer.

You're developing quite a group of friends on the list, guess your insight,
smile and wit make adoration inevitable.  Like you I have a tighter circle
of intimates and prefer small gatherings.  My professional life often
involved large gatherings and public speaking so showing up publicly with
out CP List would be manageable, not preferable.  I share much of what you
wrote.

Pushing through stigma and negation takes effort.  More than I want to
muster to prove I can still make.  I usually need duty or inspiration to
show up at a gathering of strangers.  God forbid I wind up with a CP lover
or wife! ;-)

Elaine P. sure dented my romantic idealizations: I'm meeting Helen of Troy
and she offers Medusa.  Think I'll call a locksmith today.  Whatever can I
be wanting not to know when I'm well off? ;-)

Curious how you respond to my segue with you and Elaine.  I started to
answer Mariana and Asdis and decided to let you lead.

Enjoyed our "chat."  I usually don't lurk, wait for friends to show up.
With you I'd try anything...nearly.
Chats can be fun.

At some point today I'll need to focus on tomorrow.

Gentle Hugs and Love,

You and Gary Heal Those Wounds
