My return visits to our nation’s capitol are always fantastic, and this past weekend has been perhaps my most enjoyable trip yet.  Having reunited with so many wonderful friends and acquaintances over the past four days, I return to San Francisco tonight on a pleasant and peaceful emotional high, feeling honored to have spent this special time among such a friendly, engaging and all-around high-quality group of men (and a few women, too!).  Through friendships old and new, lasting memories were made.  For all of them I’m most thankful.

My busy week back in the real world awaits, starting first thing tomorrow morning.  This holiday Monday, as I enjoy my final hours in the city in which I lived 14 years ago, comes as a welcome day of transition.  “See” you back on the Left Coast!
