A coming-of-middle-age story with a rude awakening.

'Surrounded by emotionally open men and

women, interested and interesting, yet socially

unprepared to overtly refuse a good squeeze I

was sure I'd entered dating seventh-heaven.

Notwithstanding my tendency to develop option

paralysis when it came to the art of hooking up

with a potential suitress, this could be likened to

shooting fish in a barrel. If I play my cards right.

How wrong I could be? Any misconceived ideas

I had any consistent sustainable sober-game are

tested to the limits and gradually eroded away

during this week-long mecca to mid-life crisis.'
