About Mimi

I’m a recently divorced heterosexual female babyboomer.  I live and work in Manhattan, and I’ve had one wacky date after another.   So long as I can believe that some day one of the first dates will be the last first date I’ll ever need to have, I can enjoy them all  (in retrospect, at least) and mine them for comic material.

    Hey Mimi

    The ONLY way to approach online dating is with humour. Maybe we should collaborate on a book of funny dating stories - Over 40’s and out there…..

    i’d rather not say, because i’m trying to keep my anonymity….but i think some of the posts suggest the general area.

    I bookmarked your blog a couple of months ago (hysterical). I just wanted to congratulate you on your good fortune in the loss of “Performer”. Lord, what a jerk! He reminded me so much of my arrogant first husband, especially where musical tastes are concerned. We were BOTH musicians, but he claimed superiority because he was a “professional” (i.e., was PAID to play cheesy cover tunes in bars), while I played in the local symphony for free. Since I could find talent in any musical genre, I was annoyed by his snobbery. The Beatles story really hit home (the effing BEATLES are “dance music”? Was he SERIOUS?). Perhaps he needed to be reminded that Mozart’s music was not well-received by the narrow-minds of his time. Sooner or later, you’d have tired of his need to play teacher to your student. This guy HAD to be in control. He couldn’t just let you be YOU. HUGE red flag. I think you know this now, but I was really worried about you at the time…before he went back to his ex. I pity her. Good luck in your ongoing quest (I really mean it, although it would spell the end of a very entertaining and enlightening blog. If I had any daughters, I would recommend it to them. Mature women in the circuit still make mistakes, but they are far more equipped to deal with them and move on). Plan C sounds like a keeper, so far. Gotta love a “cat man”. Thanks for sharing.

    I am still trying to figure out what dance moves he would put to “Eleanor Rigby” or “Nowhere Man” (which could easily be his theme song, eh?). What a dork. He loves himself….yeah, yeah, yeah. Looking forward to a PlanC update. It must be refreshing for you to have found a man who is open to your interests.

    Hi, Mimi, I had wanted to email you an apology (but couldn’t find an email address on this blog) because I just realized that–and I don’t know how this happened (I suspect it may have something to do with a high blood alcohol content), but I am so sorry– I read your June 20 post, and then a day or two later, wrote a post with the same title. It was stupid but entirely unintentional. I’m going to take mine down.
