Aug 9:

The birthday party was a success - rambunctious for the all-boy pool party, and annoying for the adults. I'm looking forward to a day with more exercise - thinking of visiting the sculpture park, or the dog park, and maybe even dropping in on the evening paddle in Kenmore (if time allows). Having seen Saul & company haul empty kayaks across the lake and back LAST week, I suspect they'll have some no shows. And perhaps I could help pull an empty kayak, although I won't be able to stay for the barbecue afterward.

I've spent some time reviewing the profiles on OkCupid, and PlentyOfFish. It strikes me that no one really knows what to say in their 'profile' - it's good to know I'm not alone in that. It also strikes me that most of the women there *think* they're looking for a Stage I relationship (i.e. looking for a 'provider', or 'hunter-gatherer'), when I'm *assuming* Stage I - shelter, food and something approaching 'stability' - and am searching for something deeper for any potential new relationship. Fun, travel/day-trips/adventure, and a physical relationship... Yes: Sex - I'm determined to have sex again (at least once - preferably >10,000 times). How long will *this* dry-spell last? (I wonder how many other people are independently asking the exact same question?)
