For some, boredom is a comfort zone.

True.   Even a long walk is better than doing nothing. You can discover so much by just going outside. I know I live in FL and it's hot, but when I lived in a trailer park in NH for 7 years I did the same thing in a snowstorm.

By the way, yesterday a client called me at home (people don't know I resigned) and asked me to dinner. I said I was basically a boring person. I sort of like boring. This kind man has asked me to dinner 3 times already. I finally figured "why not?" and said "I'm having dental work so how about Italian?" (I know he's a steak & potato guy & don't want to kvetch about my problems) and he told me he was half Italian. We chatted and then he mentioned it again and said "I'd really like to treat you to a nice meal" and I replied "Sunday is always a good day." I wonder if this man needs someone to take a hammer and knock him over the head. (wish I could post that emoticon here. LOL) Wasn't that a yes? He seems a little boring, so he might be just my type...rich & boring!   :-)
