Mistress and slave are (at this very moment) at a local watering hole here in the high desert. It's an odd combination of radio station, concert venue, bar and grill with big views. The DJ is warning listeners of an impending "snow emergency".
It's happy hour! But what really brought us here are not cheap drinks but Mistress's interview with a dude she met via Ashley Madison. Slave came along as "security". Now I'm parked at a table in the back (watching the DJ), while Mistress chit chats with this new "prospect". Fortunately, I made sure to bring my lap top and mobile wifi device.
You can tell I was a cracker jack boy scout: "Be Prepared!" The wifi and a milk stout have me entertained as I scope out Mistress chit chatting with her prospect across the room.
On paper, this guy fits the bill. Ivy League Degree. A certain rugged individuality that suits the backwaters of the SW, and that appeals to Mistress.
He was probably a bit taken aback when I walked in the door with Mistress and humbly introduced myself, then took a table on the far side of the room.
So is there face to face chemistry?
He's appears to be a little older and shorter than advertised.
A little pudgier than advertised.
Will Mistress find a hidden appeal that slave has overlooked?
Not sure. At least the conversation has not died (it's been going on for 40 minutes or so). And the worst that can come of this is that we find a guy who might be able to help us design an irrigation system to become more sustainable out here. Or maybe he can build us a garage with a big closet that can store some of Mistress's out of season wardrobe.
Believe me, we could use some extra closet space!
