A Return To the Blog

I have not been attentive to my blog lately for several reasons. One reason is that I received my recently deceased grandfather’s photo albums and I have been going through them. I have written about Grandpa in my blog. The effort to study his photos and place them in proper order has been a bit time consuming, and just looking at the pictures has kind of sidetracked my thinking away from blog writing. I guess that I have simply not been in the mood to write a recent entry into my blog.

Grandpa in Korea about 1952

I quit dating Luke several weeks ago. We went out about eight or ten times. He is a devout Catholic and I am an atheist. He felt that it just wasn’t going to work out for him long-term, so he decided to end it. I was disappointed but not surprised. Since he works for FedEx and still delivers to my workplace, l see him most workdays. He remains very pleasant, as do I. I guess if things are not going to work-out between two people, it is good to remain friendly.  

One of the salesmen where I work knows that I am single and so he wants to set me up on a blind date with his son. The son’s name is Chris. I have seen one really blurry photo (I call them "earthquake photos") of him, and in the picture he looks a little overweight, but otherwise okay. At least he wasn’t wearing a scowl. I have nothing against blind dates, just so long as I have some slight idea of what I’m getting into. I guess when it comes to this Chris; a “slight idea” is pretty much what I’ve got. I'm not being pressured in any way and so I am going to have to think about it for a while. On one hand I feel like taking a break from the world of romance (or whatever it is I’m doing), on the other hand, I’d like to share the holidays with a nice guy. A girl just cannot turn off her romantic inclinations with the snap of her fingers, at least I can’t.
