Hi there. Hope you all had a fab weekend.
Usually I have a great time and even look forward to Monday for a bit of a rest. Yes I know that sounds lame but that's the truth. Charlene was out of town visiting her brother and sister in law and their new baby girl. Which meant i was left to entertain myself. So Friday evening I was settling in with Pizza delivery and netflix when the phone rang. Oh no the only person who calls me is my mother and what could she want on a Friday night? It turns out that it was my mother and an would I be free on Saturday night. This was not going to be good but I can't lie to my mother so I said yes I was free. Well she told me that an old friend from her knitting circle had a son who was going to be in my neck of the woods and could I show him around. There was no way I could get out of it but boy did i want to. I was always getting set up with one of these lonely losers and I really would rather not spend my Saturday night listening to a dude blather on about stamp collecting or bird watching or scrabble tournaments. Anyway Mom assured me that Ronald ( yes that was his name) was a really nice guy and I would be doing her friend a huge favor. Well Saturday night came and we had arranged to meet for drinks and wings at a local sports bar. At least with a football game on, we wouldn't have to sit in awkward silence. He told me he would be wearing a brown cardigan with a Dr Who button on his lapel. (I am not making this up!!) So when I got there I looked around the bar and sure enough I saw Ronald standing at the bar with his lonely guy cardigan and yes a Dr Who badge. (Mom really owes me one). I saw him first and thought Oh-Man I could really just turn and run away before he sees me. I know for a fact Charlene would have definitely ditched this dude!! But I felt guilty about leaving Ronald all by himself on a Saturday night. I walked up to him and said " Hi you must be Ron" and he replied " Well it's actually Ronald named after the fifth Earl of Wexly born in 1665" Was he for real? And for the next 10 minutes straight he blathered on about the history of the Wexly clan and so on. When there was finally a pause I said perhaps we should get a beer. Oh no he went on about the history of beer and what one should look for when tasting a beer and on and on. I just wanted to get the hell out of there. After another 10 minutes of Ronald lecturing about the nuances of hops and yeast I interrupted him with " Gee you sure do know a lot about beer and things" he replied "Oh yes. I know many things. In fact people call me the " Walking Google" I wish I could tell you that the evening got better and we had some laughs and a nice time but it didn't. I spent the whole evening bored out of my head and caught a taxi home. But now I can safely say that I have met the Walking Google.
