Oh NO!
Di, I forgot to specify when I hugged him that not all the hugs were from me--ohhhh I knew I was forgetting something! Aw krud...must go find an oosik and flagellate myself in penance now....
I have no idea of how to post video; the camcorder I have isn't even mine: it belongs to my parents and is so old it still takes VHS-C tapes. I wasn't even sure how to work the darn thing at first, and my friend who was holding it while I was getting up close and personal didn't know how to make it work either; we do know we have footage, but that's all I know at this point as I can't even replay the darn thing. And we have still pix, but I have no way currently of posting them either as the film must be developed first; OLD camera.
The snuggy-wuggy bit, well, I hope you weren't thinking anything naughty, haha: it's just that while delivering the first hug, I was so overwhelmed (getting a head-rush from the charisma, plus he was wearing very nice cologne!) that I ended up nestling (that's my friend's word) my head against his chest. (He's the perfect height for such snuggling, much to my surprise and joy.) My friend said later "It was a cute moment, you were all snuggled in and he was grinning like 'Awww, this one's my new favorite fan!' He didn't mind at all."
The stew was at the open house, as were most of the wisecracks. Indeed, if/when Martin and I cross paths again in life, there is a very good chance that he'll say "I remember you--Holly the two-fisted eater!" Oh well, c'est la vie, it was a cute moment too.
OK, I need to stop with the slobbering....I don't care how much money it takes, Di; you *need* to get up here next year. Don't go as part of a tour, that's what'd eat your cash. Go solo like I'm doing!
DRIVE FOR FIVE!!!!!
PS--BBB, that shirt sounds really nice! Wish I'd known back then to get one....
