I don’t know you but, hey, nice butt…

21 11 2007

So many of you know I’ve been running around throwing a business idea I have against a wall to see if it will stick.  Well, Monday I had the pleasure of meeting this fabulous Boulder woman named Kim who listened diligently to my tale, provided me some great insight, and promised an introduction to a person that could be key for what I want to do.

Today, I was at the gym and ran into Kim again.  It always makes me wonder how many times you circle around someone before you actually meet him/her.  Anyway, we had a nice little chat in between bench press sets and wished each other well.  When I was finished with my workout, I headed off to the showers to keep my poor officemate Andy from hating my presence.

So there I am, in the shower, naked save my hot pink flip flops to keep the public-shower-feet-nasties away.  And in she walks.

So what exactly do you say in this situation?  I’ve had 1.2 conversations with Kim.  She seems nice enough, but now she’s seen parts of my body that my mother hasn’t even seen recently.  There must be some clever one-liner to spout out at this opportune moment to ease the tension.  Suggestions?





Map where Congress spends your tax dollar

Now you can see where Uncle Sam is spending your money, as plotted on a map! The Sunlight Foundation released a downloadable Google Earth layer that plots what it says are some 1,500 earmarks attached to a proposed U.S. House of Representatives defense spending bill. The Foundation describes its mission as promoting political transparency through use of Internet technologies.

Interesting indeed. If you don’t have Google Earth, it’s a free program you can downoad here.  Thanks to Quinn Buchanan for bringing this to my attention, and to News.com for reporting the story.
