Independence Day Weekend

Asked a girl in Texas to coffee the weekend of the 4th...which went unread for a week. Cass suggested that since I was in my consume phase, I might as well come to Albuquerque and consume there - we'd catch up on all the shows we've been wanting to watch together - so I made those plans instead. When my coffee date was finally read and responded to, I canceled it.

Interestingly enough, Cass' oldest brother pulled her aside and told her, "Either marry Eric, or let him go." I told her I agreed with him. She did not want me to show up the weekend of the 4th as a suitor, but she also did not want me to show up as her gay best friend.

Today she canceled the holiday visit (citing unpacking). I was unsurprised.

I made plans for that coffee in Texas, and this time it was immediately accepted.

Later, Cass said aloud, "I'm surprised you didn't offer to come help me unpack the house."
