They say to date your spouse, so in that spirit I took
yesterday afternoon off and went on a date with Travalon. We drove out to
Martinsville again, since it was a beautiful and sunny (but very cold) day, and
we had lunch at The Keg. I had a pub burger with nacho cheese sauce on it – so naughty
but so good! Then we took a drive to Ashton, another tiny hamlet just west of
town and only a few miles closer than Martinsville. It too consists of a number
of houses, a bar, and a Catholic church. You could probably walk from one church
to the other in better weather, and I wonder if they ever have Eucharistic
processions between the two of them. Then we went to the chocolate shop at
Hilldale, since Travalon had given me a gift card from there for my birthday.
We used up the rest of the gift card on exotic chocolates and warm drinks. We
walked across the street to the Sundance Theater to see American Sniper, a very intense movie about the deadliest sniper in
US history. It did a good job of depicting both the horrors of war and the
confusion of coming back to civilian life. We got some popcorn and then ended
the evening with a lovely dinner in front of the fireplace at the Mariner’s
Inn, right in our backyard. I ate a very light meal of walleye with Mediterranean
salsa to make up for my naughty lunch. Though I love being married even better
than dating, it sure was fun to go on a date with Travalon again!

It was a very enjoyable day, we did a lot of stuff in a short time. The Keg in Martinsville is never disappointing. I regret not following the recent war in Iraq more closely and not really knowing about Chris Kyle "the American Sniper"
Very nice date ! Would you maybe like to go out with me again sometime?
If you're not too busy, etc.
Oh, I need your phone number again if that's ok with you..
You and the dentist's office. They needed my new phone number too because they replaced all my contact info with yours!
