the ladies

First of all, at the risk of sounding like an insensitive pig, there are tons of hot ladies in Rockport. There's a sizable college in town, and it's amazing how many attractive young females are around.

Unfortunately, since I've sworn off the young ones, most of them are off-limits.

One of my friends raised the point that, if I just want a summer fling, I shouldn't have to worry about how old they are (as long as they are legal). If you've ever dated anyone significantly younger (or older), however, you know that it can sometimes be hard to relate. I spent half of my time with Jr. Miss rolling my eyes at some of the things she said. Of course, maybe that's because she's crazy.

Fortunately for me, I think that I've got something going with someone a little bit older.

GASP!

(When I told my brother about this the other day, he was actually shocked that I was dating someone older than 23. I don't know quite what to say about that.)

Anyway, this thing is still in the early stages (a little over a week), and I don't know where it's going, but so far so good. She's working on the show, and she'll be in Rockport all summer. She's also kind of different from a lot of the women that I've dated in the past, too (and for your information, L. Britt/Melissa/tuckergurl, she's not a blonde).

More about this later. I've got to get to the gym and finish up by four, so I can finally stop playing phone tage with one of my friends...
