With nothing intelligent to do with my time, I decided to wander into a local eatery for a happy hour snack and beverage.  I've discovered that happy hour is a great place to meet people, and it provides wonderful opportunities for me to ask questions and stay abreast of the astonishing things going on in the minds of single men and women in the dating world.This past Monday I rolled in, parked my butt on a stool, and ordered nachos and a margarita.  Recognizing me from a few weeks ago, a gentleman ran over to my table to ask how … Read More
