Journal: Nov. 8, 2000, Wednesday

On Saturday or Sunday, I am going to Costco to shop, courtesy of Baum. He wants me to come to Long Beach. It has been three months that we have been dating. Day before yesterday, he booked the trip to London and Paris for us at Christmas. My half of the cost was $1273, and I gave him my credit card information so he could charge my half on my account. I am assuming that he will cover miscellaneous costs such as food. He said that he wanted to take a side trip to Brussels to visit an aunt there. He has family in France as well. What an interesting man he is. I checked with my credit card company to see if the charge had been made, and it had. I am not yet certain if he can be trusted. Perhaps I made a mistake giving him that information. At any rate, he has yet to say that he loves me. I wonder if he ever will. I want to hear it.

I am sure that we will have a wonderful time in Europe. One thing I would like to do is to find a sculpture of Napoleon and perhaps of Marie Antoinette. I want to visit the Left Bank of course, and perhaps the Crazy Horse saloon. Despite the fact that I studied French in college, it was quite a few years ago and I have not used it. So I am afraid I can not count on using it too much this trip. During the time in Paris, we will go up the Eiffel Tower and perhaps I will be able to free some of Pete's ashes there. It would be nice to leave part of him everywhere I go. In that way, he will be with me. And I will be slowly parting with the past. God bless you, Pete. I love you.
