I’ve Got a Date with Another Man

I may write some about this on my other blog, but sometime after Easter, I’ve got a date. With a priest.

Several months ago, when Tom was working at the Catholic non-profit, we went to Cincinnati to pick up this stuff that this priest was donating to the organization. I fell in love with him. He’s this short, round little guy with a great sense of humor and a brilliant mind. We hit it off famously, and after we loaded up all the stuff, we went to lunch. By the end of it, he and I were like old friends, laughing and crying, hugging and talking about all sorts of things.

We had lunch again with him last weekend, because he’s helping Tom with some Latin translations for his business.   I don’t want to mention the type of business, but he deals with a lot of Catholic retailers.  He asked Tom if he was bringing me, and even though I sick, I went anyway.

I call this guy “the Renegade Priest” because he seems so liberal to me. He brought along this newspaper clipping about a “Bodies” exhibit that they have at the museum there, and he wants me to go with him. So we’ve got a date in March. On the way home, I kept teasing Tom, asking him if he was jealous of “the other man.”

I have the weirdest life.
