I have been going to church intermittently since I mentioned it here. It has been well worth it. The minister is phenomenal – young, very smart, well read and well educated. He has a diplomacy that will take him far in his calling. The Bible reading on a recent Sunday was Proverbs 1:20-33. Wow, whatContinue reading “Preach It!”

Hey guys, here are some tips about first dates if you want to go out with me on a second date. This is based on a recent first date, last date. Show up on time and respect time constraints.

A Little Burnt Out
After thinking and writing about work, I realized that I need a break. Labor Day weekend was a good start. I was busy with lots of fun activities and it felt great to have an extra day off. But I need more. I hope the week I will be taking off to spend with myContinue reading “A Little Burnt Out”
Knocking Boots Round 3
It is Wednesday, so time for my Hump Day post about sex. This isn’t too explicit, but just a heads up. BC is back! You didn’t see that coming did you? Me neither, but what the hell. He is good about checking in about once or twice a week. He also got me up onContinue reading “Knocking Boots Round 3”
Noom Update #4
I am chugging along and still working the plan. In addition to my Noom log, I have a notebook that has a 3-year log of my weight and measurements as I have struggled to lose weight.

Apparently he harbored ill feelings to being rejected. Let me start from the beginning. This guy started out on Match with a flurry of flirtyContinue reading “Scary Date”
Bumbling Along Update #3
The best thing I did this week was to set up a burner phone number through a website called BurnerApp. I had the same thing when I had my own business.

Dating Criteria
I am getting better about weeding guys out. I am downright brutal on Match. I don’t set the filters, but here are some of my criteria: Must have a college degree. Sorry, I lived with HWINL who had his GED. He is a smart guy, but book learning matters to me for reasons I amContinue reading “Dating Criteria”
Raise Follow Up
One idea I had is that before raises next year, I should explore the possibility of perhaps getting another 40 hours of time off. If they are going to give shitty raises, then just keep them and give me more time off. That is much more valuable to me these days. I have also beenContinue reading “Raise Follow Up”
