What a corny way to open up an entry. But I figured that the focus of my day would be on just two things: (1) Having dinner with Maria, and (2) a Noisy Muffler. And I was right. Work passed by relatively quickly, and once I got into the zone, I didn't notice the 8 hours go by. So, the real day began for me around 5:00 pm.
After a quick stop at the house to change into something prettier than I wear to work, it was off to see Maria in Poughkeepsie. Giving her a 7:00 arrival time was just right. We both got to the restaurant within minutes of each other, and then we sat down to dine. This was Maria's first time at the Mill House Brewpub. I've been there a couple of times before, and I expect to eat good food. But tonight, both the quality and quantity impressed me. Although we spent a pretty penny on the meal (both of us had drinks), it was well worth the price. (Too bad she couldn't drink any beer - we'd have shared a flight of drinks.) Due to the rain, one drink was my limit. But what I had went well with my pork schnitzel. Yum!
We talked about many things, but the focus was on the stuff occupying my mind these days: WDS, the Ex-Girlfriend, FH and the other women I've been chatting with lately. None of these things in themselves is that interesting. But when put in an overall context of how people relate to each other, how people communicate with each other, then it becomes interesting. We could have gone on forever, but both of us were tired.
All too soon, we had to go home. It was well worth the effort to see Maria again. And I hope that I can get together with her and her boyfriend next time.
