Meeting Foamy
Sunday April 10, 2005
In the morning we worked on the soon-to-be-bedroom, cleaning up the lath, tearing down the remainder of what had been the wall between the bathroom and this room. The new wall is two feet further over making this room larger and the bathroom smaller. It works though because Faol added a water closet and moved the toilet into it, that was the space taken out of the long foyer at the entrance. It was good to get more done.
I carried out the studs to the pile. They are 2 by 3's and 7 or 8 ft long. I realized that it was something like a weightlifting set if one lifted a weight and held it for a minute before putting it down to start the next repetition. After 8 of those I was feeling the soreness in my hands and wrists.
I got Faol’s bath going but he didn’t get in right away. I wasn’t thrilled though because I was waiting to get cleaned up until he did. We were expecting a friend of Faol’s today, Foamy. He is an old CAW member and was a friend to Adam Walks Between the World. Luckily he was late and we both ended up with time to wash. I had just finished dressing again when he arrived. I very much enjoyed meeting him.
He wasn’t anything like I expected. I was expecting someone not so large, but he has the torso of a much taller man. At one point he said he had the legs of someone about 5’7” and the body of someone 6’3”. I had noticed that when he was sitting down he was taller than Faol but not when he was standing. It really didn’t look that odd though and if I didn’t tend to compare men to Faol I might not have noticed. I liked him. I had Faol take a picture of us in the throne chair together. After the tour of the house as he had never seen it before we took him to the Brite Spot, and I had a Grilled Cheese sandwich. For some reason I just had a taste for it. When I mentioned it to Faol he said that no wonder he was feeling like he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich:)
