Hello, and Happy Sunday!
I woke up THRILLED today because I had a great night:
I got to see hundreds of naked men. And women.
But that wasn’t why it was a good night. 😉
It was a good night because I made new friends.
It’s always hard to move to a new city and start fresh.
I got to a point where I was mostly done unpacking and started talking to the cat more than seemed normal.
Did you know Facebook dating has a friendship option?
I didn’t until two glasses of wine into Tuesday night when I was missing my STL Tuesday Game Night friends.
I matched with Jackie. We texted. Had a phone call (this is big for me as I hate to talk on the phone). Didn’t get a serial killer vibe.
She invited me out with two of her friends for the World Naked Bike Ride — supporters not participants.
I learned about this event last year.
Yes, please.
Jackie, Melissa, Jen and I stopped by a grocery store in Portland. While waiting for Jen, an elderly woman rushed up to us:
Ladies, did you know a woman reaches a certain age where she can have as many cats as she wants? It’s called “manypaws.”
Lord have MERCY.
She told another dad joke, then walked off.
Me: Do you know her?
Melissa: No, but that’s Portland for you.
We had dinner. Told stories from our lives. Laughed. Then cheered on people braver than I am.
Melissa is planning a Mrs. Roper bar crawl.
Y’all, I’ve found my people.
Next weekend might feature a hike at a monk hangout with a wine tasting involved. I’ll be sure to report back.
Your friend,
Beth
*Dionne, of course.
Observe and report 
You make me wish I were more extroverted… 😉

I will admit to having a moment of panic. I texted some people the address where I was meeting them just in case. 😉
