Okay. So the last update I gave you on MrAlumni is that we discovered each other through a mutual friend who I found through facebook - for our high school alumni group. He mentioned to her in an email that he always thought I was pretty and when she mentions I do triathlons he says he was a cross country runner.
And on Friday we have our alumni homecoming football game.
So, yesterday he joins facebook and we start emailing each other. By the evening we are on the phone talking. OH - and I had put my match pix plus the pix from my last race (thanks lifeguard!) in facebook and he saw those and said he was really impressed.
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much. But he is really funny and makes me laugh and we have a LOT in common. He loves to travel to the same places; is young minded with many things; likes to be fit; has his own company; doesn't like to drink a lot; is impressed with my culinary education and background; comes from a good family; has the same religion.
It was funny when he called yesterday because I was shopping in Abercrombie - I love their tops. And the music was full blast when I answered the phone - I said I have to call you back in a few minutes I am in the store. And he said where were you? And I explained. And he laughed and said that became his favorite store when he was in school.
He had gone back to school to get a second bachelor's degree when he was 38 because he wanted to own his own engineering company. So he didn't get out until he was 42 and he is still single. I guess that is the only thing that makes me nervous is that he is 45 and never married. But I do like his young heart and am similar that way. He did have one serious relationship and it was with an older woman with kids so that has to be good, right? And he has a lot of nieces and nephews that he likes and can crack a great joke about Dr. Seuss.
So, he asked if I would like to get together and I said yes. He is supposed to email and call today and I guess we will set something up. I am assuming this is a meeting/outing/date just for the two of us.
I will keep you posted. All comments appreciated.

I can understand him being nervous, even *I* am on tenterhooks!!!
Can't wait to find out whether he comes out after the client meeting.
Clem - who's excited *ducks and runs out of the room*

Hi, I am a bit nervous too.. But sounds like it will work out . Be yourself.. and a big plus here is that he has seen you in your teenager and that image will be an additional boost when he finds how you have turned out to be even more pretty and athletic and complete in everyway.
Bike ride across France!! wow this sounds like totally exciting possibilities.
Oh that's great!
It's great that you have so much in common!
