A Wild Goose Hunt

Day: 25
Dates Remaining: 20

I just ate a maniac amount of ice cream and I may very well keel over anytime. Do you ever get so hungry that eating fantastic, delicious sweets seems like the most logical solution? What a weakness this sweet tooth of mine is. The ice cream was the last part of tonight's date that led me all over the city on a wild Goose Hunt.

The evening began when Goose Hunt picked me up and took me to a Martial Arts self defense class. Here, for the first time, I was given the opportunity to punch, kick and knee my date in the crotch. I have to say that I would have loved to have had the chance to do that to other dates in the past, but not really to this one. Nonetheless, it was great to learn some moves to protect myself in case a dangerous situation should arise.

Our next stop was at an old folks home where we joined Grandma Sue in a game of Shuffle Board. Sue was so keen for the occasion that she got all decked out in the most hilarious outfit ever. She combined a million necklaces with a fancy scarf, threw on some leather boots and topped it all off with a priceless toque. She looked phenomenal and I have to say, Shuffle Board is a fantastic game. Grandma Sue's wild personality and contagious excitement made for a thrilling round of Shuffle Board.

Next, we headed to a friend's place for a bit of Rock Band action. What a video game that is. I was able to brush up on my virtual guitar skills and rock out for a brief moment before we were back in the car, heading out for fast food. I was given the opportunity to drive this fun little manual car and believe it or not, this was my first time driving through a fast food drive through, ever. I have, of course, been a passenger for a drive through experience but I have never driven through one.

You must be thinking that this is, by far, the craziest series of events on one date. Well, you are right. Goose Hunt definitely took us out for a chase but it was also in the interest of making a short video of a date. You see, Goose Hunt makes videos for Metro Calgary and this is going to be one of them. A short clip of a date where one is so busy that they want to do everything in as little time as possible. The video will air online this week end! I will keep you posted.
