The guy is coming on Dec 6th and will stay through the weekend, renting a hotel in my city and a car and will stay through the weekend. Says that he cannot sleep and that the closeness and intimacy that we shared was special. His French accent is unchanged (we speak English because my French is limited). We will see if he is inchanged in other regards. Offered to pay for my trip to New York instead but I'd rather have him come visit. This is because I am bipolar and do not do well with the jet lag, but I did not say that. I just said that I would come over to visit him later after I return from Europe, when there is a long weekend.
