I went to a happy hour with Ward. I was pretty nervous at first because I expected Lidia to show up. When I got there Ward was already there with Shari. Shari is a very nice woman who is also very tall. She's about 5'11"

I sat next to her and she immediately told me how good I looked. I was surprised how complimentary she was. She asked me if I'd lost weight and when I told her I had she said I'd better not lose any more or I'd look too skinny. She also said that even my hands looked smaller. I sort of felt that she was coming on to me. It was very, very nice to feel that I was attractive to a woman like Shari. I wonder if she'd date a guy who is 6 inches shorter.

I got a little sad last night when they started talking about Scot. Shari seemed very friendly toward him by the way she talked about him. I just wanted to scream and call him an asshole for sleeping with Lidia. They said that he had been dating this European-Indian woman but she may have broken up with him because he wasn't aggressive enough. I got to wondering if Lidia got back in touch with him... It made me a little sad.

I stayed till about 8pm and no sign of Lidia. I wondered who she was with. I think that Ward didn't send her a direct email about this happy hour. I'm pretty sure she doesn't check the main website much. I was going hiking the next morning so I decided from the beginning that I wasn't going to drink and I was leaving early. I drank club soda. They were $2.50 each! Dang!
