Looking at dating sites is probably not a great idea. I sit around and read little things into everyone&#8217;s profile, showing me why I really ought to not date them. Too religious, too superstitious, too crunchy, or just too particular and that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re single and close to my age.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m thinking of going back to my old hobby of eating as many cheeseburgers as I want. Which isn&#8217;t quite the case yet because I&#8217;m back in delayed gratification mode, though I&#8217;m not sure where the gratification is going to come from if I delay it. Today, for example, I was staring at some free doughnuts and trying to get other people to eat them so I wouldn&#8217;t. I suppose if I ate everything I wanted, I could start looking into master&#8217;s level sumo wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>I am, however, thinking of going on another run of hamburgers because <a href=\"http:\/\/koifusionpdx.com\/\">Koi Fusion<\/a>, the Korean taco truck, is making a special hamburger this week. And Thursday we&#8217;re supposed to go to Laurelhurst Market. Well, I&#8217;ve convinced one person to try the hamburger tomorrow, though Sean (who has fallen under the spell of cheeseburgers after listening to me talk about them) is wary. Really, &#8220;Korean taco truck&#8221; sounds a bit shady if you think about it, but my sister swears it&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you see my picture on, say Match.com or something and think it looks good, you should probably ask me how I look NOW after I start on my new cheeseburger diet that I abandoned about a year ago. Or not. I&#8217;ve been on a few dating sites for fifteen years now and I&#8217;ve really gotten nowhere. Like they tell me on the intarwebs, &#8220;You&#8217;re doing it wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps I need a new hobby.
