My Dad was the director of a data processing shop when a lady systems analyst indicated an interest in him. His motto had always been "you don't get your meat where you get your bread", so to speak. However, he took the plunge and risked gossip and the possibility of breaking up and having to still work together. Al- though people found out and murmured, it worked out well and to this day they are the best of friends. This all started about 6-7 years ago; Dad was divorced in '77. Lately, I have asked a young lady out to lunch here at work. Her response was fairly positive, although she "always studies over her lunch time" as she was taking nightclasses. Strange, though, that I've seen her lunching with other guys since I asked her. Guess I just don't have the "right stuff". A shame, too. She is a lovely thing...
