    In 45 minutes I'm going to meet a girl for a blind date.
    I have never been on a blind date before, so that should be interesting.
    The girl doing the setting up isn't a meddler, she's actually never set me up before.
    When she was making the pitch, she told me, she had never seen two people more perfect for each other.
    No pressure.
    It turns out we have all kinds of mutual friends and others think that this might actually work.
    I just about wish IJAG or Sportschick lived in my town and would show up at the Bonefish Grill, find me and make a huge scene about how I haven't paid my child support.
    Hilarious.
    In other news, I'm a little nervous.

    Is the girl from the Upper East Side?

    I met the Grandpa on a blind date four years ago.

    He was funny, cool and we chatted for hours at a coffee shop. Then he stood up, reached down and showed "it" to me.

    It worked for him, so give it a shot.

    No, Jackson, Mississippi. Okay, well actually Brandon, but that's only for the locals.

    And no showing of junk, isn't good form on the first date.

    It works for about 90 percent of guys who do it, so, yeah Jay, try it.

    Take her over to Vicksburg for skillet cornbread at Rowdy's. You'll be married next week.

    What did he show you in the coffee shop? A bagel?

    If that's what you kids call it these days. Sure.

    You can take the edge off by yanking your chain before the date. Know someone who dates a lot and says it works for him.

    OK, I officially don't care about Jay's blind date, but my interest in Granny's blind date is growing exponentially.
