Happy New Calendar year! http://bit.ly/GGUFpE

Happy New Year to everyone! I am back to work after a nice vacation and am desperately trying to ward off the germs which seem to be everywhere I turn. I find that hand sanitizer can be very effective for this, especially the one pictured here. Effective for both men and women!

My date with the man I'll call Easy Rider was quite an underwhelming experience. He was great at texting, a little less interesting on the phone, and really disappointing in person. He had so much potential - smart, funny, and we had a lot in common. We even worked in the same field and had just missed being assigned to the same small workplace by a month some 25 years ago. He collects interesting vintage motorcycles and planned to drive his favorite one to our date, but then it rained really hard that day, and he had to drive his old Volvo instead. That, combined with his extreme shyness, made for a very dull time at the indoor/outdoor coffee shop where it was damp and freezing cold on the day we met. As hard as I tried, I could not engage him in any decent conversation there, because it was very uncomfortably wet and crowded, and he admitted that he does not do well in crowds. He asked if I would join him for dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant and I agreed, hoping that we would be able to resume our fun banter there and pick up where our texts had left off. But that was not meant to be. The restaurant was cold and dark, and we were the only customers. This didn't bother him in the least as he again told me how much he hated crowds. That is the reason he rides motorcycles,
