The date with Cecilia actually happened. I am cheerfully surprised. In fact, Cecilia called me 45 minutes before she was supposed to and enquired if we were still on for the evening. How nice.
We had dinner at Denny's as planned. Took seperate cars to Barnes & Noble where she looked at books about London and I looked at books about Photoshop CS2 (they didn't have anything on the Avid Adrenaline). We later sat on the floor together in the religion section. Cecilia was going through a little pile of London books and Christian dating books.
I was reading The Idiot's Guide to The Bible.
Afterward, we took my car to Calvary where we sat in the church sanctuary and discussed long term relationship type stuff. At the moment, we're just friends but our long-term intents with this date have been made clear. Cecilia showed me the one song she admits she can play on the piano. I showed her the wide range of songs I've personally written for piano.
Afterward, Scott Hollinger and his son Tim showed up. After taking Cecilia back to her car at the B&N parking lot, I came back to the church to surf the [broadband] web and chat with the Hollingers. I told them of my date this evening and how well it seemed to have gone. I admitted to bringing my dates who were not from the church to Calvary to 1) show them where I'm coming from spiritually and 2) to show off on the piano. Scott very thoughtfully said "I could go for a guy who played the piano for me." Pfft, so would I. I mean, c'mon, right? I even briefly did the Ray Charles version of You Are So Beautiful and got applauded.
C'mon! I'd date me! :)
