Re: [UUPoly-L] Back from the "Loving More" East Coast Polyamory Retreat!

Woo hoo! Me too! I met Keith as soon as I arrived there Thursday, and yup, I can attest that soon he was a puppy dog in a big new happy family. Same thing happened to me at my first poly conference two years ago. I remember how scared I was walking up to the registration table, thinking that in a few seconds my life might be about to change forever -- and whaddya know, it did. I'll never be back to quite the same planet earth again.

Keith, don't forget my offer for you to come visit some time.
