I'm impressed that you even went through with it... getting set up on a date seems like torture to me :) *can you tell I haven't really "done" the dating scene much in my lifetime? My current sweetie and I met one summer when I was 14, riding my horse, and he wanted a ride. I traded a ride for a beer, and that was the beginning - some 36 years ago! Lots of life flowing under the bridge for a lot of years in between, but we finally found each other again just 4 short years ago.tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649612952702911368.post-64556086046765965462007-11-15T10:22:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:22:00.000-05:00Sure, I try to stay open to the possibility, thoug...Sure, I try to stay open to the possibility, though it seems about as likely as hitting the lottery.RED MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724459820113337438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649612952702911368.post-81977611345110500352007-11-14T23:07:00.000-05:002007-11-14T23:07:00.000-05:00Oh, that's a shame.

I saw you walk in through the backyard at KJ's house and you looked very cute in your cool shades and powder blue shirt and you drove a convertible.
