		<description><![CDATA[I ran into The Schnauzer tonight on a walk home.  It has been nearly a year since we had our short-lived &#8220;relationship.&#8221;  He pulled over and asked me if I had time to talk or if I had to get home to &#8220;Dixie.&#8221;  That was impressive he remembered the dog&#8217;s name.  The last time I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If anyone has learned anything in the year+ I&#8217;ve lived in Santa Barbara, it&#8217;s that I&#8217;ve barely dated or done anything blog-worthy.  So, in December when I was feeling generous, I loosened up my age requirements and let the 65 year-olds take a stab at the Marn.  As my Aunt says, &#8220;hello Daddy,&#8221; she also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a date Saturday night who accessorized.  I don&#8217;t mean in the belt, cuff links, and shoes kind of way either.  He wore a turquoise bead choker necklace that kind of looked like those candy necklaces I&#8217;d get as a kid, except the &#8220;candy&#8221; was blue.  But that&#8217;s not all.  There&#8217;s more.  He doubled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I had a date with a PhD-holding Angeleno who was in town for interivews.  It was an exciting time because I haven&#8217;t had a date with a smart person my age in a very, very long time.  As expected, the conversation flowed.  The beer didn&#8217;t. He requested that we meet at a pub, so [...]]]></description>

My new target market is old guys &#8211; or men who have kids that are off to college [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was growing up, dangerous behavior was having unprotected sex.  Now it&#8217;s going on an Internet date without seeing a picture first.  I&#8217;m bored and living dangerously in Santa Barbara. I subscribe to the girl&#8217;s-gotta-drink rule, so meeting for a coffee is the easiest date out there.  Barney was too late to buy my [...]]]></description>

It’s been another banner month of dating in Santa Barbara as I [...]]]></description>

I haven’t seen The Schnauzer since the infamous hot tub/back shaving incident.  [...]]]></description>
