You didn't catch her??
But then she went home to Gothenberg and I went off to law school. I harbored this stupid fantasy that we would see each other a couple of times a year and then she would move here when I was done with school. I found her on Facebook many years ago. She's married and has an autistic child. |

You'll like me later. Or not. |

Always considered that a worthwhile endeavor.
That's what I want when I'm old and can't change my diaper by myself. |

On the subject of my romantic woes...
Finally got up the nerve this afternoon to ask out the produce market girl. I thought there was a chance. We had have been chatting briefly about food when I shopped there. Then around New Years I did a look-back after paying and walking away and caught her doing a look-back at me. Alas, she told me she has a "partner." Probably for the best as it appears there is a large age gap between us. Hard to tell if she's early 30s and looks older or early 40s and looks younger, or something in between. Still, she seems really cool so I decided that I would be a fool if there was a possibility and I let it slip away through inaction. She was very nice about the whole thing, saying she would take my asking her out as a compliment. |

Yes? I had to quote this to see the link. Sad. And the link does not exist.
Could you give me the executive summary please?? Was a rip on dad jokes. Showed a spectator at a sporting event walking up and touching the back of a camera guy. Why? Because he jacket said "PRESS" on the back. |

Did you meet her in Lake Woebegone on one of your cross-country bike packing trips? :D
Let's not discuss the townie I met at the laundry mat in Isle, MN, on the shore of Mille Lacs, while riding across the country. |

Now we have discovered asbestos siding on half the house. It's too far gone to encapsulate and it's going to have to be remediated!

I know what you mean. I was the same way, but exposing yourself to disappointment is much better than wondering about what might have been. Of course, the way memory works, on your deathbed you might 'remember' that you did jump her, even if it never happened! |

On the other hand, . . .. |

Let's just say that I found out several years later that she and her then boyfriend (who I assumed was the father of her child) got arrested on suspicion of cooking meth when the cops came to their house after receiving a report about a possible domestic disturbance. Her name: Crystal. I kid you not.

I think I figured it out. Hard to remember having not used that camera in several years. Maybe now I can take some more shots around the neighborhood.

A bit far for me. I might settle for the warm climes of NW Metro ATL.

There was an obese writer who threw everyone under the bus, so to speak, so I called him Ralph Cramden. I was similarly admonished for that even though fewer people understood. |

The UK is a clear outlier there. Also, they seem to have given up on Northern Ireland, according to this map. We should alert the media.
