A Little 'Splainin to do...

I'm going to make this fairly short for now, for several reasons. First, it's late and I'm tired. Second, I need to actually recall the events from the last 2 weeks to that I can 'splain them right...

I think I left off with my date with Truck. I've known him since I was 20, so....12 years, roughly. I haven't heard from or talked to him in about 11 years, but I found him on the internet and starting chatting with him again. I've always had a fondeness for him, even though he's quite rough around the edges, and he can be very hard to swallow if you don't know him.

I wouldn't actually consider it a date, per say. More like two old friends getting together. He picked me up at my house and we decided to go for lunch/dinner since it was about 2:00 PM.
We talked a little bit (neither one of us are big talkers) but then had to figure out where to go to eat. I'm so used to just going to a very local restaurant or pub that it never dawned on me to go anywhere else.

Truck: "So, what do you feel like eating?"
Me : "I don't care. What do you want?"
Truck: "Whatever you feel like eating."
Me : "Listen, I picked the day, you pick the place."
Truck: "Well, last time I decided I wanted a Philly Cheese Steak I ended up in Pennsylvania."
Me : "As long as I'm home in time for work in the morning, I'm game."

Mind you, I don't live anywhere near Pennsylvania. We ended up going to Cracker Barrel, which is a good thirty minute drive. I ordered a salad and he had the pork chops. I had a really good time with him. Felt like old times. Nothing major really, but I think we're both looking forward to our next lunch. He's a great guy.

He dropped me off at home about 3 hours later, and that was it. Thought it was going to be something juicy? Nah...But I love his spontaneity, and maybe next time we'll end up in New York for some New York System Weiners...

Anyway, my pillow is calling and I'm getting tired, so I'm going to turn in for the night.

Toodles...
