My remaining thoughts on Friday night?

Yeah, three thoughts. One, I'm proud of myself for getting out there, even if alone, and accepting the invitation to go with them. That is a major change for me. I'm generally pretty shy and it's a hurdle for me to go do things by myself. Turns out I met some new people and had fun.

Two, I really enjoy doing the swing/jitterbug and missed having a partner. My X was very good at it and enjoyed it. We didn't do that enough after getting married.

And three, I've talked to the girl I met for lengthy periods of time both Saturday and Sunday and worked out future opportunities to meet. And now I'm nervous. I'm already starting to think of an exit strategy should things not look good. Pretty bad hunh?

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
