At 1:00 p.m., after an INTENSE (and exhausting) discussion about the vicissitudes of multiple relationships and in anticipation of attending the Film Festival in the evening, I managed to DRAG myself into the sun and wash my hair & upper body. (Clean undies and socks will do for the rest.)
The view up Butler Wash is to die for. We're camped on the 2nd bench above the crik. And to stand here with the heat of the sun and the chill of the approaching Fall evident in the breeze, clean hair, freshly shaved, toweling with magnificent purple from thrift shop for indigent seniors.....

The Film Fest was comprised of four:
Night Sky
About an observatory at Torrey, Utah and the Dark Sky movement.
Chip Thomas
An eight-minute documentary on the artist/physician in which he describes how he came to the reservation, his interest and treatment of the Dine with uranium mining-related illnesses, learning of their ways and gaining trust and then, rather than just having his photographs in galleries, started doing his large murals for everyone to see. Afterward he fielded questions from the M.C.
Sweetheart Dancers
The story of two Native-American men who choreographed their own "Sweethearts" dance and entered into contests at pow-wows. Sweetheart dances have been, traditionally, for male and female couples, but in true Native-American fashion, it took only a year before the tradition was modified, at least at one place, to include partners in long-term relationships.
Escape
About the psychological and physical abuse suffered by two teenaged best friends, one who is gay and the other smart and shy. After the movie, Smart & Shy and another actress talked about how things hadn't changed much since the making of the movie. Smart & Shy is now a senior ignoring the lucrative offers from Hollywood and planning, instead, to attend college. But many of the others had moved on; had children; died; gone to prison; and, as is the case on many reservations, otherwise fallen by the wayside.

Great picture. It felt good to get a little squeeze from you. As far as "lack of love making", sending out good vibes to you, hopefully she will be able to relax so you can both indulge. Bet I got you beat in that department. It's close to 3 years for me. Sleep well. Jennifer
