cat 262460 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 To the Gentlemen of Ottawa! I must take a moment to put some of my thoughts down. I'm out west, sitting on my balconey looking at the city skyline and the mountains all at the same time. The coffee is steaming, the sound of construction fills the air. The only thing that could make where I am better, is if it were all in Ottawa. Last week was such an incredible experience for me. For all those that didn't have the opportunity to come for a visit I apologize. I had 59 requests, and there are only so many hours in a day. The visits that I had the pleasure of entertaining were such fun, and my new suite lived up to all of my lofty expectations. The gentlemen in Ottawa are truly exceptional breed of man. I left Ottawa with an overwhelming feeling of genuine care and belonging. The sadness that settled as I waited for my flight was quiet and I know in my heart that Ottawa will be home to me as much as the South ever was. Anyone who knows a Southerner will realize the magnitude of that statement. My visit was intense, the relationships I have with so many of you bring me such a tremendous sense of joy and satisfaction. Thank you all, for just being who were born to be...

Reading these sentiments it's nice to know my feelings are shared, I think of each and every one of you. I will be back, I promise!!!!
