So it seems there are folks out there other than Hugh who think I need a husband. As I was on my way home, alone, in a cab after my birthday on Saturday night (well, early Sunday morning. Details, details), the driver started chatting with me. "Where’s your husband tonight?" "I don’t have a husband." "Boyfriend, then?" "Nope, no boyfriend." He glanced back at me in the rearview mirror. "Really?" "Yep. Really." He then proceeded to tell me all about his friend Gil, who he thought I should meet. Apparently he owns his own business – a sporting goods company. He kept telling me this as an illustration of what good husband material Gil was. He then asked if he could give me Gil’s contact information, which he wrote for me on a napkin and handed to me as he dropped me off at home.
I’m not sure I’m quite at the point where I’d contact someone referred to me by a perfect stranger (a cabdriver who drove me home at 4:30 a.m. no less), but I certainly was impressed to learn that his sporting goods company is strictly opposed to child labor. Call me picky if you will, but ya gotta draw lines somewhere, folks.

I’ve had a taxi driver tell me I should get back with an Ex (how we got into that discussion in the first place is still a mystery to me).
Yes, men can be yentas, too.
But the important question is: is there a pic of this guy on his website? If he’s cute, I’d go for it!

O go on, take a risk. Your hair would stand on end if I told you how I met my b/f, and no AZ I’m not telling. A belated happy bday btw.

As my mother would say: Nothing ventured nothing gained. If he looks anything like that guy in the picture — well enough said.
If this works out I expect free basketballs for life.

Also, the b/f says that matchmaker/cabdriver is famous. He should probably be the subject of a musical.
