Ribs & Rebuttals

Tami and I had our 4th date at my place last night. She brought over some ribs (a couple of racks leftover from the weekend's rib fest at her cafe) and we watched the final President Debate on TV. She is also a conservative, so we shared our cheers for Romney's rebuttals and groans for Obama's lies.

Unless I'm totally clueless, I think Tami's a keeper.

I am plagiarizing!

Ah...  Jon was at the cabin with some friends last weekend.



















Jon's buddies took beautiful pictures when they were up at the cabin this past COLD weekend!  I am posting here so people can see them.  Jon, it looks wonderful!

What!?

I refuse to accept that MJ and Margaret's Pool Boys are this week's leaders in the Pick 'Ems. More to the point, how is it that I am the sole cellar dweller?

My date last night, a die-hard Packer fan, was amused that my mother and a Brit was better at picking American football winners than me. I think she was also enjoying my obvious distress because I was gloating about the Packer loss. BTW, she says that American football is the only true football in the world, and that soccer is just soccer. I'm just repeating what she said.

Last night's date was a little impromptu. She had just joined Match on Saturday, and I was the first person to write to her. We exchanged a couple emails over the weekend, and after joking about the Vikes and Packers she dropped a subtle hint around 6 pm that she didn't know how she was going to spend the rest of her evening.

Well, I do have a Math minor and am capable of doing simple addition in my head, so I immediately suggested that we meet. We met at Champp's for a drink and nachos, and shared a lot of laughs.

We agreed to meet again, and I've suggested varying live music events during the week. I'm now waiting for her response.

I'm also waiting for the woman I met at The Happy Gnome last week to tell me what her availability is this week so that we can meet again. She's in marketing, and the national sales team for her company is in town, so she's going to be out with them on random evenings during the week.
