BB2ME #11 — what to do when you are handed a golden ticket

I stared at the blinking cursor pondering what I should do. It hovered over the send button. The confident part of my personality said: “send it”. The scared part of me said: “don’t do it”.

I took a deep breath and wondered which would win. I clicked the button. The message was on its way. No turning back now.

It was March 18th, 2018. The day after St. Patricks’s Day.

My head hurt from too much Guinness. I met an interesting woman the day before at an Irish Pub and I was trying to connect with her.

I was not in a good place at the time

The first few months of 2018 were rough.

I was officially old on my 50th birthday.

My old girlfriend and I had parted ways.

My dad was facing serious health challenges.

My beloved UVA Cavaliers experienced the worst loss in NCAA Men’s basketball tournament history.

I called a good friend of mine and told him I was going to a local Irish pub for St. Patrick’s Day and was going to drink Guinness until I felt better. He joined me. We had a fun time and met some new people to include this woman, Kim.
