Cincinnati

So I got up this morning to drive to cinci city. It's about 2 hours drive..and I had to make it. It was on a short notice, but thats the nature of my job.

Typically, I would get to the hotel room, order dinner, and get to work from my room. I sometimes debate myself to get the heck out and just take a walk while enjoying a camel's light smoke..but I usually fail. this time, I insisted on me getting out of the room. Life is more than just work work work.

So i walked on the ohio river side..and it was beautifull. I passed by Hooters..paused there..and again debated myself to go in. But come on Bo3Bo3...you were just in Hooters last week in memphis, TN..so come on buddy...just keep walking..come on, you can do it. I won finally..I mean the good side of bo3bo3 won (for a change). I walked to this nice sea food restaurant..called "Fish Market" on the shores of ohio river. I had to eat at the bar because thats where smoking is allowed. There was this woman who had a big cake in front of her..and she was laughin with the bar tender about how big is this cake.

I felt the urge to speak...not because she was beautifull..but simply because I have a big mouth. "hey..i can help you with that if you wish" I said. She laughed..and asked "can I join you?". Suddenly, I felt bad. All I wanted is to be friendly with this woman. "sure you can" I said. But deep inside, I was screaming "damn it lady..please don't"

Suddenly, she started yacking and talking about middle east, politics, love, diversity (and how she dated hispanic and african americans even though her dad didn't like it) and yada yada yada. I tried to ignore her as much as possible..but hey, even a bo3bo3 gets distracted by a half-dressed woman half drunk in a bar.

She then hit me with the big one. "can I get your email address so I can ask more questions about the middle east?". I paused for few seconds..and said sure u could. "I'll give it to you before I leave". I was counting on her forgetting the whole matter or maybe get a hint. At any rate, the food was great..and folks, try the oysters covered with lemon, garlic, and melted cheese with a side of spinach.

an hour later, she got up and said "it was nice knowing you,I gotta go now" I said "pleasure was mine, please drive carefully". I was relieved that she forgot about the email address (or even if she intentionally didn't ask for it, i didn't care in any way). I quickly paid my bill and left the restaurant fearing that she'll be back now that she knows I'm not from cinci city.

Oh well..I took the short walk back to the hotel..and passed hooters..and forced myself to keep walking. Who knows what was awaiting me at Hooters at this time of the night.

Here are some photos of the beautifull cinci city.
