I'm safely back at home, continuing the grind. Although my mind is still analyzing what just occured at the ranch, I can safely say that it rivals my previous three days last year. Old friends reacquainted, new friends hopefully established & although I didn't truly relaxed, I did enjoy my time in the "den". I hoped the people there enjoyed my appearance there, even if they didn't know who I really was.
Again in lieu of reviews, I give whole hearted & much appreciated thank yous. First, to the support staff for making my stay flawless. No real complaints from me, even shared a joke & observation with security guy Gabe. Yes, even security has a sense of humor, too.
Thanks to the hostesses, especially & forgive me for the misspelling, Althea. I took some time to shake her hand & compliment her on my time there. Hope if your stay was as fine as mine was, take the time to say so to your hostess of choice. They sure appreciate the kind words.
A lot of thanks to the bartenders for keeping me hydrated during my stay. To Marci (who I only got to see for a couple of hours, but maybe next time), Cheryl (now that I know how to somewhat play 10,000, I'll get ya next time) & especially Suann (much respect to a fellow fan of Shirley Manson & Garbage, also my fave 'tender on this trip), thanks for keeping my glass filled. Just remember, diet Coke with lime squeezed 'til its dead.
They say "Fortune favors the bold", which doesn't apply to me at all. Despite that, I did appreciate the ladies that did come by to talk to a shy, unassuming man. So, to Angelica (thanks for breaking the ice on my first night), Atlantis (yes, I'm proof that some Alaskans don't like Sarah Palin, too), Flower (definitely one to keep in mind, very sweet), Amy (Thanks for the Wal-Mart trigger, found my popsicle & I'll check out that Adult Superstore on my next trip), Tina Lee (give props to an ex-AK & I'll look for you in that video, another one to keep in the Rolodex), Victoria (nice to meet you as well) & finally, a brunette I didn't get her name, but through photos, Lola Love (maybe one day we could be homebodies together, despite you being an Angels fan (M's fan here)), thanks for coming by. Definitely more to ponder next time.
& to the women I did go behind the curtain with, I hoped you enjoyed your time with me as much as I did:
Toni Alexander - 'MY GOD, that's a lot of woman' kept rolling through my mind during our time together. I didn't know how anyone could survive this Aussie amazon, but survived I did & still had the ability to walk...& talk...& breathe. But at least I can check off my "Bond girl" fantasy off the list, that is until I meet ______ again. Thank you, Toni.
Kat - I still contend that 'maybe' means maybe & not 'no'. But in spite of that, to hear her giggle made it worth the long wait. Sorry to make you wait so long.
Christina Star - Finally, THE reason of my stay. No words I can come up with describes this incredible woman & does it justice. I appreciate your words, your kindness, your honesty & all the other intangibles that make me want to come back to Nevada. Being sexy as hell is just icing on the cake. Stay the cool girl I know you to be, my dear Christina; we'll see each other again...
Well, it's back to work I go, recouping the funds I 'contributed' to the ranch. But to say again, thanks for a fun three days & next time, I'll try to relax. Thanks from up north...

P.S. Be assertive & keep pecking away. I'll give in....eventually....
It's not the first time that gets me, it's the second.
