I may actually have a lunch date this weekend and I don't think it being Valentine's Day has anything to do with the timing.
A former co-worker of my late husband called in December to scoop whether or not I was "available". I "put him off" till after the holidays (hey, it was a call I certainly wasn't expecting). He's been sick off and on, so we haven't been able to pick a day to meet up. He called yesterday and is supposed to call again today to set something up for this weekend. I don't know how I feel about this, my first "date" after my husband's passing, but figure it can't hurt to meet and talk. I have met the guy back when they worked together, so he's not a total stranger.
