Says David W: After Wednesday’s event, I was in such a great mood I didn’t want to go straight home. Stopped at a nearby restaurant, where I drank the most sumptuous glass of cab ever, and ate a complicated salad that was heavenly. Truth is, the wine and my bird’s nest of hard-to-pronounce lettuces really weren’t epic in themselves – 6.5? — but my senses were so enlivened, and everything was colored by an impenetrably blissful state that didn’t fully register until after I walked out the door. My 1st cuddle sanctuary was so cool & wonderful — for a stint, my career concerns for the 0-16 evaporated, my “meh” of a day was forgotten. Even the few, awkward moments when I didn’t quite know what do with myself were interesting. I didn’t want to go to sleep, but once I did, I crashed more soundly and tossy-turny-free than in weeks. So…if you’ve made it through my meandering grandiloquence…I want to thank Jean and Fei, as well as everyone else, for popping my cuddle pile cherry and making me feel great!
