MAN AND TREE

Now you can see what Funny Guy looks like, so if you pass him on the street, say, “Hi, Funny Guy! I’ve read all about you online. I know more about you than you know about me: ha ha!!”

small town life in manhattan (again)

Way back when, just 24 hours before I met Funny Guy for the first time, I had an adventure that I regaled you guys with here.
That post was about seeing at a concert — recognizing from his Match profile photo — a man I had cancelled a date with.
He was one of [...]

Thanksgiving postscripts

1. Funny Guy’s kid and my older kid are now Facebook friends.
2. Funny Guy’s stepmother and I are now Facebook friends. (I was already Ff with his kid.)

thanksgiving chez mimi & funny guy: the 2 families (3 generations of each) meet

I’m the one standing at the left, holding Funny Guy’s hand (he’s seated on the sofa).

another interview with Mimi about Funny Guy

Yo Mimi! where you been??
Right here.
?
At my desk, working.
You haven’t told us what you do, but I guess if you’re at your “desk, working,” you’re not — hmmm — a chef or a decorator or a landscape designer.
I wouldn’t be so sure.

This semi-anniversary deserves a post, but it will have to wait till the weekend.
It’s hard to believe I’ve known him for half a year: as I keep saying to him (as [...]

funny guy can’t resist a policeman

Okay so in this post I wrote about the way Funny Guy talks to working-class male strangers, usually policemen or doormen, and makes little chummy comments as he walks by: “Too bad about the Giants” (or, [...]

“funny guy exposed as only half-Sicilian”

When — in bed last night, of all places — I discovered that Funny Guy was only half-Sicilian, I kept saying, “Omigod! Omigod! But you were so insistent that you were all Sicilian. I even remember that when I asked, you said yes, both sides of your family were [...]

“too bad about the Giants”

No, I’m not interested in sports or that game earlier this evening; whatever it was, baseball or football or something.
It’s Funny Guy I’m interested in.
So we were going to Bed Bath and Beyond, Funny Guy and I, to buy a new electric kettle. Funny Guy, as you know, has been living with me [...]

five months & counting

Five months and one day with Funny Guy.
Now that I don’t have to put so much energy into dating, I’m actually working.
More to come: just wanted you to know I haven’t forgotten you. I’m saving some goodies that I’ll probably have time for next weekend.
In the meantime, all fine on the home front. [...]
