I read it when the count went up.  I never said I always respond right 
away when it goes up.  :-)

I was getting to know my Russian MD woman online and then having a first 
date and a tour of the Stanford Med School area.  I delayed responding 
until I knew what I wanted to say.  Now I'll ask her about May 2 and 7.  
She had a verbal job offer on Tuesday for a Berkeley job as a 
physician's assistant, and might be keeping the decks clear in case she 
has to learn a lot of new procedures or language.  I hope to know by 
this coming Monday what she says.  Maybe we could use my car to go to SF 
and pick her up to go as a trio.
