On the way up to Bethlehem on Thursday afternoon, Beauyn called me on my cell phone, and we chatted for a few minutes.

I haven&#8217;t seen him in a couple of months, though, and he didn&#8217;t seem to show any signs of recognizing me at the Eagle, so I was kind of bummed. Then I got the bright idea to take off my baseball cap, and lo and behold, he stopped me and said, &#8220;Hey, are you Tim?&#8221; Eureka! We chatted for a bit (the conversation lagged a little &#8212; we don&#8217;t really know each other), then I went off to get a drink. As I was walking around the bar, he came up and said he was leaving, nice to see me again, etc., and gave me a very warm hug. I guess this was my cue to ask him out or ask him over or whatever, but as usual, I missed it. And I don&#8217;t have his number so now I have to wait and just hope to run into him again. Drats, again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been a couple of noteworthy curiousities this weekend.
