Yesterday’s “date at home” went just fine, thank you very much. No surprises, no disappointments. Well, I did teasingly suggest a nap after the movie and she declined with a “maybe next time”.
Chili came out good I think. Jessa finished hers which I always take to be a good sign. And yes, I added pineapple chunks again. Sue me. Brownies with vanilla ice cream made for a tasty dessert as well.
Jessa seemed to enjoy the movie, laughing in all the appropriate spots and nudging me when the dialog struck close to home re: my messed up love life. It was pleasant being snuggled up with her on the couch for a couple of hours. I didn’t get frisky other than gently rubbing her leg now and then. Oh, and she doesn’t shave her legs. Not that that bothers me, just hadn’t seen it (or felt it) in quite a while.
We chatted a bit after the movie then I walked her to the highway so she could get a trike home. A quick peck on the lips goodbye and that was our date. I imagine we’ll do it again one day soon. Still no idea where this might lead, but I guess that’s what the adventure is all about.
Speaking of adventure and the potential to fall, I’ll be hiking with Scott this morning up to Tralala, the highest point in Olongapo. It’s a lot of steps and then a decent climb. Did it once before and thought to myself “never again”. For some reason, I actually suggested it today. We’ll have my driver drop us in Gordon Heights so we can begin our ascent at full energy levels.
I’m doing this post now on the chance that I’ll be in no condition to do so by the time I make it back home. We shall see!
HI John, it has been a long time since I commented but I do check in on your activities on a daily basis when possible. Jessa seems like a good match for you, I don’t want to teach an old dog new tricks but somebody that has a different view on things, or shines a light on your view is not a bad thing. My wife will question many of my thoughts, its annoying at times, but it is not a bad thing and in many cases I believe I come out of this better off.
Don’t worry about the fact that she doesn’t want to do the Hash or hiking with you. I often think it would be great if Wendy played golf but she has no interest in it and in reality its my time away from whatever is going on in our life, good or bad, and that few hours apart is probably good for both of us.
Anyway before I leave I have to make a TV recommendation for you to keep you occupied during your weekend lockdowns. Timeless, it only lasted 2 seasons but a great show. Sci-fi, time travelling….sounds bad so far but they go to true historical moments in time that will leave you searching the internet for more information on the actual facts which are very often correctly depicted in the show.(JFK, the Alamo, Watergate, Bonnie & Clyde etc.)
Great to hear from you again, Neil. I always appreciate your insights and advice. Actually, I had that same thought–having some away from each other time is probably a good thing (assuming it comes to that).
Hey, that Timeless show sounds great. I’ve always been interested in the concept of time travel. I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!
