So. A while back, a good friend of mine - who has known me for many years, told me about another friend of hers. She said we'd likely make a good match, and had much in common.

Well, turns out he's been visiting she and her husband the last few days, and I met him, and got to hang out with them a bit. Then he stopped over my house , to see some of my... "interesting" collections. Animal bones, mummified lizards and frogs found randomly, and all sorts of local dried insects - again, found. Along with spider models etc.

Not only did he not freak - he knew all the species, and totally appreciated all he saw. We joked, shared great wildlife stories and experiences, and so on. Oh - and I need to mention, I find him quite attractive on several levels.

The catch ? He lives about 100mi away, and loves where he lives - as I do. Which means little time - if any, to explore if there's anything there. (sigh)

We're both rare birds. But I'm not gonna get carried away, or put too much hope into this ...
Kind of like trying to connect with people on here !
