Dinner Date

It could have gone better, but overall I think I did alright. Man I was pretty nervous, she was a wonderful lady. The date ended just moments ago and the adrenaline is still pumping. I feel as though I am flying. The one snag was a bit of a slip on my part (as usual)...she was talking about how last year she was cooking for her friends over the holidays. Well, she decided to cook a Turducken (turkey/duck/chicken) and she then went through the process. She finishes her point by saying, "I had to learn how to debone three different birds." To this I reply, "That reminds me of my first marriage." Me and my big mouth. Luckily, she laughed, as did I. Whew. We are going sailing next Sunday. Wish me luck.
