asher553My Match profile doesn't see much activity, but I was pinged by a lady I know peripherally from previous social occasions. She's a about my age, a redhead, not bad looking but very much a lefty, and a self-published writer. The conversation went approximately like this:
Her: So how are you doing?
Me: Pretty good. How about yourself?
Her: TERRIBLE.
Me: I'm sorry to hear that. What's going on?
Her: LIFE UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME! HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK?
Me: I think we're done here.
Now I don't demand that my date share my politics, but things seem to go better if she does. In any event, I do not go on Match to argue about politics.
Anyway, the current job in Portland is going well, and my contract there has been extended through the end of 2025, which will put me at just over a year there. I'd heard from a recruiter about an opportunity much closer to where I live in Hillsboro, but as of now there's been no further news on that, so who knows if it will go anywhere.
I attended most of the obligatory services at shul for the holidays, including Simchat Torah this past week. I'm in the process of mentally firming up my new year's resolutions for the Hebrew year 5786. First among these is likely to be, "Stay clear of crazy redheads." [233]
