And the Beat Goes On.. W?RUFK!?

Now I know, and you know that this is all about fifty dates.. first dates no less. And, I have to admit that I have been remiss about keeping track, which means that backtracking will be necessary for me to state the current status of this adventure. In the meantime, I am also having some repeat dates, and one of those occurred this past week. I had second date with the bloodhound, aka The Cowboy. You might recall him as the guy whose tongue sought to remove my cavities.. from my mouth! Although I decided I would go out with him again - after all everyone deserves a second chance - I did not say I would allow kissing to take place again. And although I did relent on this, I can say that he also maintained some restraint. Thank goodness!

We went to the carnival. Music seems to be the theme of our dating adventures. And it began with me meeting him at his place, as it was closer to the carnival grounds and I was hoping to get a glimpse of how he he lives. And, OH MY! First of all, he has this huge dog and he likes to sleep ON cars.. not in them, not next to them, ON them! And when we returned he was on the car.. luckily for all concerned, it was not MY car! 

Back to the house.. the house is definitely a fixer upper, and he is fixer upper kind of guy. Cherry wood floors are found throughout the place, and although they need some finishing work, they sure do look nice. Bedrooms abound.. upstairs on opposite ends of the house and one downstairs. Air conditioners are located in each one, but only operating in one of them. And no, I did not stay the night or try out the bed. On the whole, it can be said that the place has character - from the muddy, bumpy lane going in, to the house itself. And although I am impressed with the work and time this humble abode requires, I cannot, with any stretch of my imagination, envision myself living in anything like it. It gives country a whole new meaning! Oh, and it did smell like dog (hot dog)! And did I mention that he was also hot - and sweaty!? What was I thinking!?

But the beat does go on and last night I got a call from Mr Colorado. He is the BIL (brother-in-law) of another friend and has recently moved to town. We are meeting for drinks and a bite on Friday night - a bona-fide blind date! We spoke briefly on the phone last night, and he does laugh well and seems to be the considerate type. Despite my giving him a couple of openings, he chose to be the gentleman and refrained from responding in kind.. hmnmm; no doubt this is yet another adventure waiting to happen. 

Stay tuned...
