About the Date: The Play by Play

Uncategorized

First of all - since this was my second date since moving home I have made the decision to dub him

Numbah Two

Unless/until he gives me permission to use his real name, anyways.

The day started out as all “special occasion” days do - with low-grade anxiety. He lives 80 miles away, and I hadn’t heard from him. I whined to my girlyfriend that he was going to stand me up.

Being the reasonable person she is, she yelled at me to STFU and chill.

After a few text messages, we met up at Fourth of July Park and I got a gooooood hug. We talked for a bit, then decided to hit the China Palace right down the street. The food was outstanding, although I did notice the piano instrumental version of “Sea of Love” playing repeatedly in the background. I’m not sure if it’s because we were there long enough to hear the entire CD through a few times (probably). The music wasn’t loud and obnoxious - I just happened to catch it as we were talking. I’ve gotten takeout but never eaten in the restaurant. Since it’s a nonsmoking environment, I will most likely take the boys there during the after-lunch lull and let them get accustomed to eating from a plate and silverware instead of waxed paper & all the grease they could handle.

After deciding that we’d warmed the chairs in the restaurant long enough, a driving tour of Kernersville was decided upon. We cruised through the retail, business, and historic districts and he got to drool all over the architecture. That managed to kill oh…30 - 45 minutes or so? It *was* Saturday, after all.

Then we went back to the park to talk. And talk. And neck like a couple of teenagers *heh*.

The End.

Or not.

HEH!
