Interesting evening... I heard about an otter carcass on an exceptionally difficult to reach stretch of beach the other day, so I called a person who I thought frequented the area in a truck. He told me that he would actually be down there today and he would pick it up for me and give me a call when he was back from the beach.
He called me in the evening and said that he had it in his truck and would meet me at a restaraunt with it, he mumbled something about a glass of wine and said that he needed to grab some food. (apparently, Im totally clueless) When he got to there I pulled out my gloves and he asked if I wanted to deal with the otter or a glass of wine first (still clueless), I said that I would take the otter, so he could be on his way. He said well, why dont we grab a glass of wine and a snack(lightbulb goes off in Kristins head!).
We had a glass of wine and a little meal, I guess it was a pretty good time, though I was more than a little confused about the whole thing... He put the otter in my truck and he asked me if I liked sweet peas or roses, I said sweet peas I suppose (clueless again at this point), and he brought me a nalgene bottle stuffed full of beautiful sweet pea blooms!
I mostly was left thinking what the heck just happened!? But really, I made out like a bandit, wine, dinner, flowers... and a dead otter.
I suppose that it was just a nice evening, Ive worked with this guy before breifly, so I dont think that it was a romantic date or anything. But it was fun, and who cares if I want to pretend that it was more!
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
