And now the evening news
On a completely different note, I had coffee with this guy today who a) is at LEAST twenty years older than me b) actually hunted me down after a chance encounter during a choral concert when I was six months pregnant, and c) called several times over the past YEAR to ask how I was doing. I finally said yes to coffee and dragged Samuel and myself over to the local coffee shop after gymboree today.
It was all very wierd. I mean, I dont' want to think of myself as ageist, but what was he DOING? Why would a sixty year old man try to attract a forty something new mom? Curiosity will be the end of me. Not that I figured it out, in the end. I had coffee, we chatted, I left. I'm hoping he doesn't call again. I didn't make any effort to be particularly amenable, in fact I think I was downright ornery. Not ornery enough to come right out and ASK why he wanted to have coffee with me. bizarre.

Is it his age that's really bothering you, or his interest?
(it's all very intriguing...)
You went OUT with him??? OK, remind me to smack you next time I see you... If you went out for him for any reason OTHER than blog fodder, we will have to have a word...
Why? Does being of a certain age mean he's got the cooties? What's wrong with him??
mmm I am with sissoula... I think the questions you are asking are misdirected... why did you accept to begin with ? mmmm ? age means nothing... Plus why wouldn't he ask you? You are fabulous!!! So you have a son, maybe he just takes the package as is.
