Lightning Round

Well, I only got to see Tom (date) briefly.   After a meeting at the Presbyterian church (while I'm being bi-denominational, I guess I'm going to have to specify), I gave him a little ringy-dingy.  I got his voice mail, which was mildly surprising.  On the other hand, he has one of the best voice mail messages ever.

Well, he called back about 4:30, and said he could see me for about an hour, from 4:45-5:45 at Moody's (home of the best freakin' burgers in Chicago).  I said I would take what I could get, and if that was all I could have, then I'd see him in 15 minutes.

It was a nice hour.  Just wish it could've been more.  But he says his schedule should open up some more in early February.  I offered to help fill it.

*sigh*  I like him.  I guess, in a way, it's good that we're being forced to take it slow.  I've never been in a relationship where we've taken it slow yet maintained our interest.  It's not half-bad, actually.

Afterward, I forced myself upon the gym.  Not the best workout, but I made it.

Been watching the playoffs.  I wanted Atlanta to win, but am not terribly surprised that Philly did.  However, it's moot, because Philly is going to lose to the winner of the Steelers/Pats game.  Rooting for the Patriots, personally. 

Tomorrow, I meet with the Session (Elders) at the Presbyterian church in order to formalize my membership there.  I'll be at the church for various meetings and goings-on, just not the Sunday services, when I have to be at the Episcopal church.  Silliness.

At present, I'm wondering exactly why I watch Desperate Housewives.  It really is a rather absurd show.  But then again, I also watch Alias, so I certainly know how to handle absurdity.
