:eek:  
No shit. I get tired _driving_ up to the top of Mt. Diablo. She just ran the _entire distance_ and had enough juice left to be smart & funny?

As was posted in a thread similar to this one, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Keep trying!

I was really shy and then I got a job as a waitress. Now I can talk to anyone, and just go up and start a conversation.

Now there’s just the damned introversion to work out…

A good friend gave me some good words yesterday, the anniversary of D-day.

I was being nervous about an upcoming rendezvous this weekend.

His words of advice were this, “Dude, its the anniversary of D-Day. If those guys can storm a beach, YOU can storm a CHICK!”

…wise beyond his years that one…
