Late Chance for Romance
St. John’s Aug. 8 – I had one last date that was already set up long before I met the Bar Manager. Canceling would have been in poor taste and besides, the Bar Manager was busy with his marathon stag. My date was a divorcé, who just found out he has a brain tumor.
Suffice to say, he’s got a new lease on life. With that in mind, he wanted to take me around the Rock on his motorcycle. But I don’t do bikes. For some reason, he kinda seemed bummed I ixnayed the whole Easy Rider idea. I’m guessing he was under the impression that a woman on a cross-country dating frenzy would be a little more adventurous. Nope.
So we drove out to Portugal Cove in his car and had lovely lunch at this quaint little harbour-front cafe. He’s a pretty cool guy and I wish him all the best. Check out his blog: http://kpomroy.blogspot.com/. This is where he chronicles the trials and tribulations of living with “Achmed the Dead Brain Tumor.” It’s pretty inspiring to read such humorous insights on such a lofty subject. I’m glad I got a chance to meet him.
