OK, fans, I have an action-packed weekend to report on here. Unfortunately for your humble narrator, sex was NOT one of the activities on the menu. If you are one those who only read this column for its occasionally graphic descriptions of bizarre fetishes and tawdry encounters, read no further. If, however, the events of my life are of some interest to you, then read on, Gentle Reader, read on....
Friday night marked my reunion with M, my college flame. We met for drinks (or, rather, I drank) at a downtown spot filled with traders and a third-rate cover band blaring out second-rate 70s and 80s hair numbers (again, why do bars always feel compelled to make conversation as difficult as possible?). M looked good for someone coming off of chemo---she's very thin but she always has been, and the short length of her hair was very becoming. We moved on to a restaurant and had a very pleasant dinner.
Meeting with her again was bittersweet---we were very close at one point in our lives but I couldn't help thinking, on seeing her again, that our year-long fling must have been patched together with glue. M is very intense, hyperactively driven and opinionated. I'm more relaxed and mellow. There was a physical chemistry when we dated, but she's probably not someone I would get seriously involved with today. Then again, perhaps she would be. Displaying good judgment in dating and relationships has never been my most, shall we say, salient quality. Oh well----at least I keep things interesting.
Anyway, after dinner and chitchat she had to leave for the suburbs, where she was spending the night with a friend. I have no memory of getting home. I woke up and found a trail of clothes leading from the door to my bed. Unfortunately, they were my own.
Saturday, I had an afternoon barbeque with Katie. Katie is an early-20-something I met several months ago at a local bar. We bonded over a love of poetry. She mentioned pretty early that she had a boyfriend, but that didn't stop me from hitting on her. However, her rejection of my advances was conducted very gracefully---we were sitting close together and I moved in to kiss her. She turned her head, but didn't move her body or get up and leave. She smiled and reminded me that she was seeing someone. I think I may have tried to kiss her again (I'm almost sure of it) but she just smiled again and turned her head. Well, as far as rejections go it was a pretty classy one so we became friends.
Apparently, she has a number of male friends because guess what? The male-female ratio at the barbeque was at least 20-1 in favor of the men. And the woman? Married to one of the men. In fairness to Katie, she did have other guests arriving later (I had to leave at 7:00 to meet M and some of her friends for dinner) and the people she did invite were fascinating and diverse. The food was well-prepared and I continued drinking from where I left off the night before.
Sunday morning I cut through the fog of another hangover to run 11 miles---the marathon is less than four months away and the show must go on. This was followed by a barbeque at Grandpa's with Urban Mellisa, UMB and a Romanian friend of Grandpas. And of course more drinking was involved. I went home at the end of the night and called Christy. We talked dirty to eachother for about ten minutes, said goodnight and I fell asleep, another summer weekend gone.
This blog will be on hiatus for about a week---I am leaving on Wednesday for a hiking/climbing trip in Yosemite with some buddies I've known since college. This is a male trip so I don't anticipate any stories or adventures but rest assured I will keep you all posted.
