And He's Off

[dr_tectonic]

We got up at Stupid Early O'Clock this morning to take Jerry off to the airport because he is ZOMG GOING TO JAPAN! (I was going to say in Japan, but he's actually still on the plane, and won't be in Osaka until sometime early tomorrow morning -- and that's assuming he gets through customs and from Narita to Haneda in time to catch his connecting flight with no delays. Japan? Is far away!)

I had a moment on the way back where I said "Oh!" and everything kind of tightened up inside, but otherwise I seem to have mostly gotten my distress at his going out of the way ahead of time. Greg had some blues this morning, but is doing a lot better now.

Monkey bought me a Green Lantern shirt while he was in Oregon, and I wore it today. So here are a couple of Green Shirt Thursday pictures of me. Not that you'd think it was very green from the lighting in the pictures. (Click through for large and out-of-focus originals.)





You might think that's my 'pensive' look, but actually it's 'sucking in the gut'.

You are just daring me not to call you 'Flash' from here on out. Sure, you already have a nickname... are you sure you don't need another?

Hugs from Capitol Hill. If you need to talk I'm here to listen. If you need a hug, I'm here to hug. It will be an adventure for all.

You've a very thoughtful way of sucking in your gut.

...unless manga has lied to me, Christmas in Japan is the cake-iest time of year!

It's ok to miss him. Remember that someone in tights once said absence makes the heart go fonder.

And yeah, I agree with the others. That shirt looks great on you.

I remember that feeling when I saw Chris off to college for the first time. We had only dated for 3 months, and then we were apart on and off for the next five years, and I could remember thinking it would never end.

Hugs!

HUGS. Just start planning for Christmas.

And after that either start planning for Golden Week, or just start planning the Welcome Home Party.
