Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans

A few days ago, a friend from AB posted a FB link which I found so interesting . . . a whole group of young people VERY proud of their heritage, agreed to have their DNA tested and evaluated for their cultural rootsShocking DNA Results (I've seen this done on Finding Your Roots, PBS) 
 God has a sense of humor, I tell you!  These youngsters found out that there is no such thing  as a PURE race . . . we are all mongrels!

Which brings me to discuss the Dating Pool on the West Coast . . . hehehe!  Kind of like  Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans!!

Let me preface this by saying that I discovered that I'm not really looking for a man, just a dancing partner.  In fact, the perfect man would even love to take lessons!  (Try and find one of those!!) In the meantime, I intend to have a lot of fun!
My descriptions will be of the brave souls who risked their toes and their balance by asking me to dance!  First there came The Turk.  Quiet & kind which leaves one to fill in the blanks as to character . . . he wanted a different kind of dancing.  Too bad.
Then a couple of brief numbers with Latino Man, who clearly loved to dance. Also Sailing Dude . . . he was English, posh, rich & loved to sail competitively. However he danced to the beat of his own drum if you get my drift.
More recently, it was  Yada Yada Argentina. He needs a hip replacement!  That will put his dancing skills out of commission for a time, but not his yada yada. He also said he'd love to teach me to Tango . . .    never  going to happen!
 I have learned that Irishmen can talk for hours about nothing and thought perhaps I should hold out for one of those.   So I had to giggle when I met Mr Dublin at the Rec center and in the space of 5 minutes learned all about him, his Baja training,  his injuries and more!  This guy would suit . . . . except he is WAY too young.  Ah well, my Grampies will have to dance with me in the meantime . . . .
