I Saw Her In The Vegetable Section

Very gutsy move Pangloss. That is a difficult dynamic for all involved. I used to see one of our crews out quite a lot, but there were no Griff Types.

One of our stations has been running favorite teachers thing where kids submit a teachers name and they get interviewed. The woman who does the interviews is supposed to be really pretty. The backup sports guy/ producer has started fencing at my daughters club and we were talking with another Dad who teaches in a local district with a really handsome young teacher that the girls keep submitting, since he's so cute. He didn't want to have anything to do with the interview because he knows it has nothing to do with his teaching competence. He's new and has a lot to learn. He finally said yes, promising himself he was going to ask the reporter out after the interview. The station sent one of the guys over instead.

Did he ask the reporter out afterwards?

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a movie; not one of those existential movies where random shit happens, but a highly scripted movie, where coincidence is used to move the plot along.

The following is all true:

After yesterday's encounter with the pretty weekend newscaster, and our business card exchange, I felt pretty good; probably why I posted a note here. So, this morning, after about a good month-and-a half, I decdided to do a sit-down bagel and lox and Sunday NYT solo breakfast at the only deli in Atlanta that is actually a real deli, complete with NY Jews that know about bagels and cream cheese and lox and such. As a Goy, I just LOVE a good jewish deli.

So, there I am, reading my paper and eating my bagel with "belly lox" when, across the dining room, THERE SHE IS, WITH A GUY!!!!

This small world of mine just got smaller. The boyfriend/husband thing kinda took the wind out of my sails, but it was weird, almost like destiny. Seriously, I haven't been to this deli in soooooo long; and there she was. Oy!!

Whatever. I'll send her an e-mail tomorrow just to say "thanks for your card," keep it cool. Hey, like anyone, maybe she's keeping her options open. Just be yourself, right? Don't burn bridges, right? You never know, right? It is a movie, after all.

I'm glad to see that you are at least trying. Good luck to you whatever happens.

Is that Hindi? The "rati" part reminds me of Indian names.

Thanks for the encouragement. But I always wonder if I'm better off alone anyway. I'm one of those "grass is always greener" people.
