The Horny Gentleman

I am sorry I missed you. That is late even by my standards. I would have loved to talk. I do have to be careful with that though. I didn’t used to have my computer on past 10.

Your email wound up in my spam. It might have had something to do with the image you attached.

The symbol is called the bass clef. It indicates where the notes are on a piano. If you imagine a piano and the long keyboard, bass notes are all the way to the left. The notes on the right are called Treble clef. If we had to read the same music the notes would be all over the place. It is a little different than a guitar although it looks like one. The guitar plays the right side of the piano. I play the left side of the piano. They play the melody. I play the rhythm.

Jerry Garcia was referred to lovingly as the fat man. He was not your traditional skinny Mick Jagger type. I had a bumper sticker on the case that said The Fat Man Rocks. Most people assumed it meant my bass so the name kind of stuck.

My schedule next week is wide open. My only commitment at this moment is meetings on Wednesday between 2-4. Otherwise, I can see you. I would love it, even if only for an hour. It sounds complicated. Let me know what is easiest for you and I will make an adjustment.

I was a little surprised you suggested a hotel. I am glad you did because it is the best option. We need privacy. These circumstances are unique. We need to take full advantage. I think we deserve this. It is going to be a fantastic evening. A little bonding will be good for us. What movies did you have in mind?
The restaurant is called Shalel Lounge. It is Moroccan so I am not sure what the food is like. The dining area apparently offers a lot of privacy. The experience sounds very different from most restaurants.
Where does the bus drop you off when you come into the city? No point in having you wander all over town when that time can be spent together.

Have a great day.

I didn't used to have my computer on past 10.  I thought she is asleep by then downstairs in the bedroom. Does she go in and out? Can you believe mine has gone to bed before 9? Nowadays, being unemployed, he stays up, which is most irritating.

Your email wound up in my spam in box. It might have had something to do with the image you attached.

I’m glad you check your spam folder! So, this sign is a bass sign, good for all bass instruments like a guitar, cello, etc.? I’m getting a education here, because I thought all high and low keys are played on the same instrument like on the piano, (you did a great job explaining the range to me, no wonder you teach kids : ) I had no idea that in guitar/bass, they are separated. Does your wife ever come to either of your offices?

My schedule next week is wide open. My only commitment at this moment is meetings on Wednesday between 2-4. Otherwise, I can see you. I would love it, even if only for an hour. It sounds complicated. Let me know what is easiest for you and I will make an adjustment.

OK, I worked some plans out. We can meet on Tuesday the 12th near 35th and Fifth for a little over an hour, say 4:40 to 5:50 (I have to pick up the kids at 6, and I can’t be late! : ) There was a cool place near there called Asia de Cuba, but I think it closed. On Wednesday the 13th, Isabela is getting picked up for her trip at about 1 p.m. I’ve arranged for Nadia to have a friend come for a sleep-over sometime in the afternoon. I’ll have my housekeeper here with her and her friend. So, we can meet after your meeting anywhere you like. I should probably get home no later than 9:30. So, it’s completely up to you. If we meet on Wednesday, we HAVE to go do something, like a museum. So, you decide. I like it when you decide.

I was a little surprised you suggested a hotel.

Why?

I am glad you did because it is the best option. We need privacy. These circumstances are unique. We need to take full advantage. I think we deserve this. It is going to be a fantastic evening. A little bonding will be good for us. What movies did you have in mind? Why don’t we decide once we get there?

Where does the bus drop you off when you come into the city?

When? If I come by myself it’s the Fifth Ave line that goes all the way down the Eastside to 23rd Street. If I bring the kids, we take a car service, so anywhere.

XO

The Shalel lounge looks uber cool. Unless you don’t want to stay in your neighborhood. I’ll go where ever you like : )

She usually goes to bed around 9:30 or 10. Sometimes she falls asleep on the couch. I think she can hear the keys clicking. I am not sure. She has twice, when we were chatting, asked me what I was doing from downstairs. I am trying to set up a wireless router so I can use my itouch which won’t make the same amount of sound.

Bass clef is used for all deep instruments. I am not sure which cello reads, but guitars read treble clef.

I don’t think my wife has ever seen my office. She may have once been to my office in the village. I don’t talk about work much at home. Other than my performances, she takes no interest in my life. She avoids my friends. People in church and in karate have never met her despite decades of involvement. My life is kept separate. On the other hand, I know all of her friends and frequently attend events with her.

Tuesday evening sounds good.  Asia do Cuba is closed. I will find something else in that neighborhood.

Wednesday I will have to check on. I will see what museums are open that evening. Depending on the weather it might even be nice to go to a park.

I was surprised by the hotel suggestion because when I thought about suggesting it, I was afraid it would scare you off. I want to make sure we last. I would hate to think you were uncomfortable. Quite honestly, it was like you read my mind. I am a gentleman. You can trust me.

Next week sounds really great. I LOVE being with you. I have to run.

Talk to you later.

The lounge does look cool. I am sure we will go there at some point. My current thinking is that the restaurant should be close to the hotel. I don’t think we should use a hotel in my neighborhood. It seems unlikely for Thursday, but Wednesday maybe.

Hmm, at least if my keys click, I can always say I’m writing something. I live at the computer. I even watch TV on it, so no one ever finds it strange. But I must say last night everything was really quiet at 3:00, so I was a little paranoid about my clicks. I hope you will set up the wireless router.

Sounds like a pretty lopsided relationship there. I wonder why? How it ended up that way? Did it start that way? Just musing, no need to answer unless you want to.

So Tuesday around 4:40 it is. As for Wednesday, park is good, anywhere really, but we can’t be drinking and smooching for all those hours. Someone will call the police due to some major PDA! Because I’m sure I won’t have any problems doing just that.

I know I can trust you. I’m glad I made a stink about your performance, because your reaction taught me how sensitive, and thoughtful and kind you are. And I guess it showed you that I’ve become vulnerable to you.

I’m happy that we have a plan! : )

It is actually getting better but it is still lopsided. I might be to blame. I almost never say no to requests and never request anything myself. She goes out a lot more than I do. She also talks a lot more about herself. I know everything that happens to her at work. We rarely discuss my work.

I think we will be ok. There will of course be some smooching, but knowing that we can make out to our hearts’ content on Thursday should allow us to be more disciplined in public. A museum would be nice. I will do some homework. Planning for us is fun. You are so much fun to be with. I want to make sure everything is right. You deserve special treatment.

I am sensitive, thoughtful and kind. I am also horny. Beware.

Well then everything will be just fine. If you were anywhere close to me right now, I would have grabbed you and kissed you for that. I wish you were here now.
