Thank You mystery Ex..

I got an email today from a dominatrix saying that an "ex" of mine was giving me a birthday present of a one hour session with her. She is a very attractive person, who is a redhead and apparently over 6' tall in heels. So she would fit the 6' redhead dominatrix I've been looking for. I have to admit that I am a bit nervous because I don't know for sure who gave this to me as a present. I have my guesses, but they're only guesses.

I haven't pissed off any exes that I know, so I'm sure that the gift is just that, a nice gesture. Right now, I'm planning on having the session on Tuesday afternoon. She knows that I have the plug, and would like me to wear it to the session. I told her I would definitely try, but I haven't worn it in public before. I can only imagine when the sensation will be like trying to keep it in while walking to the PATH, on the PATH and Subway or taxi.

I find out on Tuesday morning the exact location I am to go to. Any one want to own up to giving me this gift to help calm my nerves? Am I nuts for going?

Two steps forward...

One step back. More on that later

On Sunday night I took advantage of being in a city where a friend lives. I met my friend Bonney out for drinks after our game. I was able to take the DC Metro system from my hotel to her neighborhood to meet her. It was a nice 20 minute ride on the metro. While it doesn't run as often as I'm used to in the NYC area, it was clean and right on schedule. The downside to the Metro is that it stops running at 12am on school nights.

Catching up with Bonney was great. I hadn't seen her a years. Bonney is the one person I know who travels more than I do for her job. At one point, she didn't even bother having a home as she was traveling for 18 months straight. (In all fairness, of the 18 months, she wasn't working for 5 days. She had to go to a wedding and a few funerals). She has me beat on the states list also. She's only missing one- Alaska. She keeps looking for an angle to get there for work though, and had almost succeeded this summer, but her plan was foiled at the last minute.

Bonney and I met through Kristen. Back in the day, Kristen had visions of setting us up. She quickly realized that she and I always become friends with every member of the opposite sex, so nothing would happen. She was right. We've stayed in touch and commiserated over travel stories. She's been lucky in that many times she's flying on chartered aircraft so she doesn't have to deal with the flying public.

While we were hanging out on Sunday night, we hatched a plan to make a surprise visit to Kristen in Arkansas. Kristen has always said that the only two people who she has a chance at seeing in Arkansas would be Bonney or me because of our traveling. From what I've been able to tell, she hasn't been adjusting well and she really wants to seem some familiar faces. We sent her a picture of the two of us together enjoying our beers and got an immediate response. When we told her we were in DC, she responded "Ahh... civilization". I'll believe the Arkansas trip when I see it. To try and get our schedules together will be a huge problem. Bonney also has the tendency to flake out on things like this also. We're going to try and plan it while it's still fresh in our minds though.



Back to the title of this post
This morning I woke up and had pain in my lower back again. No pain down the leg however, and the tingling seems to be staying away. So, the no tingling is huge, but having the pain in my back is more annoying because it does cause me to limit my activities.

Sidenote
I really think that traveling should be spelled travelling.

Missing.

I woke up today and I felt different. It was as if I was missing something. The tingling I have been living with in my left leg is gone. So far it hasn't come back. This is hopefully a good sign that the end is near in dealing with my back.

Awkward moment

I have so much to write, but so little time. I wanted to get this one out there before it got too far gone. I went out on Monday night to meet J and her fiance'. I think I wrote about how I was surprised when she told me she had gotten engaged, especially since I didn't know she was dating anyone. He is from Ireland and is currently living in the UK.

So, I meet her and Vince (the fiance') and several others at the bar, and I'm introduced to him. She screws up the introduction- It went "Kevin, this is my friend Vince, Vince, this is my fiance' Kevin." The look on her face was priceless when she realized what she just said. Vince seemed like a nice enough guy, but was definitely not what I was expecting. In fact, he may have been the last person in the bar I would have picked for her.

Their interaction with each other also seemed off. There were no PDA's. In fact, there was very little interaction between them at all. They were just sitting next to each other, not much talking and no contact at all. If they're happy though, that's all that matters.
