Long chat with Nick

The end of the weekend was here and the short work week was about to get started. I went to Russell's to get Nick to take home. I needed to drop him off in Seattle to take the ferry home.

Russell and I talked some politics for a little bit. We usually don't because we are opposite side of the spectrum and I did not want to get into a heated debate. I made sure it was kept light. We talked for about twenty minutes. Then Nick said we should probably get going.

We got on the road I stopped at Rosauers in Colfax and then we got gas and we were off. I had the Seahawks game on in the background. Nick and I started to discuss stuff. I asked him if he was nervous about facing his parents for the first time since coming out to them a few weeks ago. He said he was.

We talked about that and how his family would take it and how he would feel. We also talked about Nick's brother and not wanting to tell him right away. He wants his brother to be kept in the dark about it for a while.

We talked about other issues about homosexuality, marching band, and music. It was a nice talk. We always have a lot to chat about. When we got to Issaquah we got some dinner and then headed into Seattle. I dropped him off near the Ferry terminal. I left. A few blocks away he called and said he did not have his wallet. So I turned around and met him.

He opened the door and found his wallet right away. I left again. He said from the point on some cops were watching his every move. I think they might have thought we did a drug deal or something because it was so quick. He said two bums came up to him. One asked for a cigarette. He gave him one. Then another asked for his Burger King bag. He gave it over. Then he realized it was empty. Russell had said that wasn't nice. Nick said "He should have asked for a cigarette." Nick did not realized the bag was empty when he gave it over. It was only after the fact. That cracked me up.
