  • The Hunt

    "Chance favors only the prepared mind." Isaac Newton

    Tonight, I packed, then wore, my tan pants and a colorful shirt.
    Tonight, I took time to shave.
    Tonight, I made sure I had cash to tip my server.
    Tonight, I went to the same bar / nightclub / arcade.
    Tonight, I made sure I was well bathed.
    Tonight, I was a gentleman, and an athlete.

    Tonight began as it has for several dozen weeks in a row.

    Historically, none of these has got me too much attention, and none has taken me down any special path (the notable exceptions know who they are).  Tonight, however, I met a pretty girl, a nice girl, a smart girl.  And then I met another.  And they like me very much.

    Sometimes fate favors the prepared.
