I have been pretty busy of late. 4th quarter is our very busy time of year at my company. Between that, workouts, a bout of strep and tendinitis in my knee, the Thanksgiving holiday and the shortest date in history my time and energy have had a premium placed on them. However, after prodding from maxauburn and octothorpe, I figured I better get my butt in gear.

And just to clarify, the disaster in this instance was all about me...

I met a guy, Scott, a little over a year ago at a barbecue. It was brief, with pleasantries exchanged and such. I thought he was handsome, though a bit on the young side of who I am normally attracted to, but enjoyed meeting him nonetheless. Did not think about him again.

Will not happen for awhile. Mitch had a nasty cold this weekend and is scheduled for belly button hernia surgery on Tuesday. I did not respond on each well wish concerning this, but I do appreciate all your good thoughts that came my way on the previous post. In the meantime, I look forward to the arrival in Dallas of bearfuz and the Mary Poppins crew ( Read more... )

His name is Mitch.

We started chatting a little over a year ago when he was living in Temple, TX and he recently moved to Dallas. Our schedules finally allowed us to meet tonight.

It was well worth the wait.

Dinner was at Chan Thai in Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff in Dallas. Conversation came very easily for both of us. No long pauses, awkward ( Read more... )

Well, found the passport and succumbed to temptation - I am heading to London and will be there May 2-12. It will be wonderful to get back there as I have been wanting to visit since 2002 when I did a very short stay there. Thanks to the hospitality of london1967  and his honey london1952 , I will mostly be billeting in Bromley with some side trips to visit other ( Read more... )

Well, my mom has done it.

I am flying home to North Carolina May 29 to be there for her birthday on the 30th and spending a few days there before back to Texas on June 2. This was originally going to be a surprise, but since my flight to Charlotte gets in so late, I will not get to my parent's house until after midnight. That would freak them out. ( Read more... )

I do not know what it is with me and parties lately, but I have met another guy at one that seems interested in me.

I went to a Super Bowl Party hosted by my friends Marc and Brian up in Carrollton that was listed as an event for Denton County Bears. This is one of the counties north of Dallas for those of you outside Texas and is a good 30 mile ( Read more... )

It has happened yet again to me. I finally was able to have a 2nd date with the man from the party in December I posted about several weeks ago. Between our holiday schedules, then both of us being sick the last couple of weeks, today was the first time we felt like it ( Read more... )

So I had the date. Yes, the guy who gave me his number on Saturday at the party and I met up tonight ( Read more... )
