ah a first date well let's see 1st of a ll a first date should be fun yes fun no coffee isn't fun it's a job interview at starbucks

hmm i should look into that but anyway 1st date u pick me up at the bus stop :-) and we drive to the Artisaggio or whatever

it's called coffee shop cus it's better coffee and we order a couple of lattes togo i ask to drive u don't think it's a great idea

but i'm so cute u can't resist.. i open ur dooor and let u into ur cream 325i bmw convertible. the beast roars to life as i start the

engine but i glide it to the beach with all the grace of the chauffeur of the Queen's Rolls Royce. we walk arm in arm talking

about our crazy journey to this spot in the wild universe; chance, fate, luck, skill, and persistence all play a role. we drop our

enviromentally friendly cups into the recycling bin and return to ur car after leaning about a well rehearsed portion of our well

packed baggage. stage one is over and enough giggling has taken place to warrant stage two. i proceed to drive u around all

the favorite spots; up spanish banks, past gate 6, down into Kerrisdale, left onto granville, down to Granville Island where after

wondering around the market looking at flowers and pastries we end up sitting on the patio at Bridges where we enjoy a

beverage or two, afternoon turns to evening and as the sun sets u wonder how on earth this enigma came to be, completely

wrong in every way but totally irrisistable and cute. after dropping me at the bus stop ur mind is a buzz for days because of the

wonderful time u had. all was light and easy, no pressure, just fun....

either that or we could arm wrestle
