Two of My Favorite People

During my recent sojourn in California I had the opportunity to reunite two of my favorite people, Pat and Dr. Spo. 

I've known Dr. Spo for about ten years now, ever since I discovered his blog through my late friend The Cajun's blog. When I met Pat in 2013, it didn't take me long to realize I would like these two fine men to meet one another. That opportunity happened the next year, during Dr. Spo's visit to Pat's former hometown of Toronto, Canada with his partner now husband Someone. I knew immediately both of these exceptional men would hit it off together. 

Look at them. Not only are they both very handsome and sexy, they are intelligent, witty, generous and self-deprecating. Self deprecating, I am always attracted to people (especially men) who don't take themselves too seriously. Both of these fine fellows are secure in themselves and their place in the world. 

Like many of you reading this blog post, I've known many people throughout my life. I've made many friends. Some friends come into our lives and either die or fade away. Some other friends turn out not to be friends at all, because they bring out the worst in us. Believe me, I've had my share of these "friends."  Then there are friends like Pat and Dr. Spo. They bring out the best in me. And even better, they like and tolerate me, even after they have seen me at my worst. That my friends is the definition of true friends. 

Pat and Dr. Spo, thank you for your friendship. You are both true treasures.

You made a great point when you mentioned friends bringing out the best in us. That's the quality of a true friend. Life is too precious to waste with people who thrive on negativity - which is contagious and detrimental.

Jon,
You are so right. Your sentiments are similar to what Phyllis Daller said so many years ago, "Lose those negative friends." Life is to short to spend on negativity and especially people who bring you down.

Oh my ! I am quite honored and touched to be one of your 'two'. Thank you!
Next time I smile for the camera though.

I am honored to have both of you for friends. My cup runneth over.

Ron - Yep, that was good. Turned me into putty. The reason Spo wasn't smiling was due his concentrated effort.
