Do you ever look in the rearview mirror while you are driving at night and think you see a man with a hook in the back seat? Yeah, I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Step one of Operation: Exploit the New Guy has gone into effect today. Essentially I’m trying to use the new guy to get to his wife who is now going to Bennington College to find me single women. Desperate and a little pathetic, I know, but if I get a date out of it it will all be worth it. And I know that he tells her EVERYTHING (I’m serious. I think she knows me better now than most of my friends do, and I’ve only met her twice) so there is a very high probability that something may come out of this. We’ll see…

Last night I actually got to finally talk to Jamie on the phone, thus ending the longest game of phone tag either of us has ever participated in. I think I first called her the day after I got my phone. After numerous voice mails on both ends, the game finally came to completion.
