i had a first date tonight, felt good about how it went. dates have been compared to job interviews before, and this comparison does help me out. i wasn't good at either for a while, but had to step back and try to learn some lessons from it all. i thought i had hit all of the right notes before, but it was not to be. she seemed impressed by some of what i do, like the writing and comedy. at the outset i said it's starting off better than the others, since we have some things in common that i didn't have with other dates like being from iowa and being hawkeye fans. haven't told her yet about the blog, but we did talk for 90 minutes over dinner which is good. and i showed her my recent letter to the editor. scheduling has been a problem so far, since she has been out of town often on the weekends, but i was fine with making a weeknight available.
when i called my college roommate about it, mr. physics in memphis, he told me he expects to be moving to new jersey for work in about six months. he said he would be traveling much less often as well. he hasn't had a gig that close to me yet.
i'm still unsure about my weekend plans, but attending a baseball game is likely. and a local festival sounds appealing as well, a colleague said she attends it often due to living in that town. i enjoy the food, drink, and music at festivals.
