Typical Teens

When I went to LA, my plans were to relax... do absolutely nothing.

Sister had decided otherwise.

As I've mentioned several times before, my sister and I are very, VERY different. We don't look alike. We don't act alike. Basically the only things we have in common are our family and dress/shoe size.

It used to just be our family but with Body for Life and her trainer Barry, Sister has changed her body and lifestyle.

Now it's time for more, and more involves Barry. They've been hanging out lately and Sister is unsure of what's going on. She's a bit conservative, even more old-fashioned... shy.

Me: not so much.

My mission: Get the scoop on Barry.

Sister scheduled a training session for me. I was dreading it because I haven't properly worked out in a couple months, but Barry was easy-going and great.

I chatted him up about everything from personal training to travel. I talked about myself. I flirted. I succeeded in my mission.

Afterwards, my sister invited Barry to join us for dinner. While we waited for him at the restaurant I gave her the scoop. Barry likes chicks, he is just incredibly shy.

He has never been married. He isn't aggressive with women. He is just a really nice guy. I got the impression that he might have been a dork in high school. He doesn't really know how to act around women

The other day when Sister called to tell me he made her a mix cd, that pretty much confirmed my thoughts. He's still a teenager (at 44).

Lucky for him, so is Sister. She gets giggly around him. She talks about her marriage to him.

Where will this go? I guess we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, Sister needs to listen to the songs on that CD and see if they actually say anything.
