By the way, hubby and I met on a blind date. We’ve been together since that day almost 15 years ago.

There’s no real way for me to consistently announce my Fiction series other than putting redundant disclaimers in the front of the posts. However, this goes back to the same issue you and I discussed back in the day about whether I was going to put a disclaimer on my posts as far as whether I was joking about something or not. ;)

Having said that, when you’re in the numbers game, such as being a single guy in a city with literally millions of women ambling around aimlessly with nothing to do, you become accustomed to mediocrity.

Liken it to a baseball scout that has to travel around the country seeing players that are excellent in their small area of the country or at their D-Level school, but couldn’t possibly cut the mustard in the Majors. According to that player and that player’s fans, they’re the best thing since sliced bread. According to you, being that you’re privy to the larger picture, they’re good… but hardly good enough.

Similarly, one becomes accustomed to extraordinary females. Not only are they a pleasure to spend time with, but they’re inspirational. It’s hard, if not impossible to explain the difference, being that I know you’ve been happily married for some time now. But not having to feel like “ugh… Here we go again!” is really a refreshing and rejuvenating feeling and IMO deserves lavish treatment.

Also, it was hypothetically closer to two hours than two minutes. That’s one of the things I find tough about this new format. What I’m writing about is thoughts, feelings, motivations… The writing is linear, but it doesn’t physically represent the time spent on the event, because the time is irrelevant. So, maybe it took me 30 minutes to have one thought and then 5 minutes to have the next and then 3 seconds to have the next three in succession… Without framing these posts with physical events, such as actual discussions and people going to the bathroom, they do give an understandably warped impression of the time that was spent in order to come to my conclusions.

I’ll think about this. I don’t know that there’s anything I can do about it other than leave the location information out and just have it as a series of thoughts about women. We’ll see! :D
