I WAS HIT ON TONIGHT.  IT WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GRATIFYING.  BUT IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO LONG, I MAY HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE CLUES.  VALIDATE ME ... WILL YOU?

I ENTERED THE FITZ'S PATIO (CEDARVALE LANES... SMOKER'S)  AND PROCEEDED TO AN AREA THAT WAS EMPTY (VOLLEY BALL LEAGUES HAPPEN ON THURSDAY AS WELL),  ACCOMPANIED WITH MY FRIEND AND TEAM MATE.  AS WE PASSED THROUGH AN AREA TO GET TO THE EMPTY, A GENTLEMAN MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME .  I SMILED AND ACKNOWLEDGED HIM, AS MY FRIEND AND I PASSED.  WHEN MY TEAM MATE AND I ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION AND HAD SETTLED IN, THE GENTLEMAN APPPROACHED ME AND SAID.... EXACTY WHAT, I HAVEN'T A RECOLLECTION.

SO HERE IS MY PERSPECTIVE... I START COMPLETELY RANDOM CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE... 'CUASE I CAN.  I'M JUST INTERESTED IN MAKING CONTACT. GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT... IT'S A CONVERSATION FROM WHICH I'LL LEARN SOMETHING.  IT'S FUN, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.

BUT HERE IS WHY I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN I WAS "HIT" ON.  JIM COMPLITEMENTED MY SMILE AND MY ATTITUDE, FOR WHICH I THANKED HIM.  I INTRODUCED HIM TO MY TEAM MATE, WHICH HE NEARLY IGNORED.  I ASKED JIM IF HE WAS A BOWLER, AFTER ALL WE ARE AT CEDARVALE.  AND HIS RESPONSE WAS "NO... NOT CURRENTLY BOWLING",  HE SEGWAYED TO HOW I WAS HOOKED UP.

MY BOWLING (BUZZ) ANSWER IS... I'M MARRIED AND I HAVE MY SECOND HUSBAND LINED UP.  (INSIDE WORLD... I'VE GOT WHAT I WANT AND HAVE ANOTHER OPTION IN MY HEAD... (SHUT UP... IT'S MY INSIDE JOKE)WHICH APPARENTLY SAYS TO  "JIM" AND  THE OUTSIDE WORLD,  I'M NEARLY DIVORCED AND HAVE A BOYFRIEND.  NOW I HAVE TO EXPLAIN...  YOU MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF YOU ARE WILLLING TO TAKE THIRD. OH

 YES, I DID.  JIM WAS HIGH FIVING MY LINE UP AND BAILING AT THAT POINT, AND WAS UNWILLING INVEST IN MY RETIREMENT PLAN.
