Romantic Malebox Update

I have to change the nickname of my mystery date from Ignatius to Erkel. A self-described nerd who happens to be black. I'm almost ready to think he's pulling my leg. A black guy who loves REM? They are so white. All his taste is sooo white.

When I flew to Italy, I sat next to a black college professor from Vermont (yes, Vermont) who was so nice. We talked about the New Yorker and David Sedaris. Now that was a pretty white black guy.

If Erkel is half as pleasant as that man was, I'm laughing.
