My friend Bryant


...or ShurleyBear as he is now called.
Bryant and I met in AIT in San Antonio, TX. We were old. It happens. We devised a plan to make dating resumes to be handed out upon meeting someone that you're interested in. These resumes are to include past dating experiences, expectations, and of course physical measurments--haha!

Bryant is now in Iraq! He is now finding himself in the midst of an early-afternoon soap opera. Why? What? Who? Two very different women are competing for Bryant's attentions. (I just wonder if they have sent their resumes to him yet?) I think Bryant's nickname should be "Soldier Cassanova".. yea! Only Bryant would be lamenting being pursued by two beautiful women at the same time. One of the women is married and the other divorced; both have a child and a desire to be with Bryant when he returns from the sandbox. Besides the obvious dilemma of 'who to choose', there are other aspects of concern. Where do these women live? If they are not in close proximity to Ft. Hood, there cannot be a reasonable future for when he returns. And what about history? What foundation is there already and what can be built in the time Bryant is overseas? Can you really, truly get to know someone well from online correspondence? Perhaps I am projecting my own fears and concerns upon Bryant's situation.
It should be very interesting to see how this all pans out.
