Well, Blogsie, looks like I have a coffee date this evening with a new respondent. He's a tall, goodlooking, muscular fellow with laughing eyes and a playful look. He refers to himself as 'Big Ben' < insert imaginings here >. Sheesh!
I'm honestly not expecting anything, but it would be good of me to keep possibilities of friendship open. God knows what a bitch it is to make new friends in L.A.
