Salsa--Yep, that was the guy. I cannot tell you how mortified I was to go to my doc and say, "test me". But I thought if he could be so intimate with me, and then disappear without a word or backward glance, how else was he deceiving me? This has been a year of firsts in dating--plain ol' stood up by two guys for a first date, and *poof* from someone I thought was solid. It has rocked my self-confidence. It certainly seems that guys my age want women who drink. You'd think it would be less of a problem at this age, but you should see their faces when I say "I don't drink. Nope, no alcohol. No, not even wine..." etc. Thanks for your supportive words, and for backing me on the PR thing!

KG--welcome back! We occasionally talk about our bikes on this thread. For example, you'll note that I rode my bike to a bar to get hit on by 20-somethings last night. See? Bike riding!

Just caught a 9# 7oz chubby boy, another lady on her way in for a labor check. I think there will be no rest for the midwife tonight. Makes me extra glad I hauled that AC up and left it running in the dining room. Cooool for sleeping tomorrow.

KN--head feeling better? Hope so. Good luck at work tomorrow. L.
