An epic event is set to occur in the Beccaverse, one that could alter the course of history. Lady or Not… Here I Come‘s most dedicated editors and guest writers, the esteemed Rodney A. Worthington and Yours Truly, are scheduled to meet up in Denver tonight. Rod being a gentleman of refined taste, he insisted on forgoing the quick but boring route of flying from Oregon to Missouri, and instead is taking the time to smell the wintry roses, rolling across the American heartland on a Greyhound bus.
He’ll know he’s in Colorado when he takes in the gorgeous sight of the Rockies’ peaks rising 14,000 feet above sea level, and a few hundred above the haze of legal marijuana smoke. I kind of suspected that he looked for a route through our magnificent state after Oregon defeated a similar measure in last month’s election. I don’t know if he does like to partake, but just in case, I want to treat him to a fine meal while he’s laying over here. Because I would never want to be thought of as that guy who lets his dates go hungry.
I’m buying… just don’t get extra cheese, that’s a quarter more.
I’m really nervous though. It may be Sunday, but I’m not a churchgoer and I fear I may not have anything formal enough to wear to the Denver Greyhound Station. I mean, these people look like they’ve got higher standards than I can live up to.
Hey, there’s my homie in the Braves cap!
Seriously, though, what should I wear? I want to make a good first impression. Rod is 13 years my senior and I’m sure he already has certain well-deserved prejudices about the slackdaiscal© attitudes of Becca & I’s generation. If it were Jeremy, I know I’d wear flannel. But with Rod, I just don’t know what he’ll like. I think they like green a lot in Oregon, so I’ll wear green. It brings out my eyes, and will match some of the stains on the floor of the bus station.
I’m really looking forward to this. If you’ve read my previous posts you know I’ve been seeking out a Bro Date for a long time and of all the Bros I could meet, he is definitely the Rod-est of them. Totally Rodical. Of course, we know the conversation will be 5% politics, 4% religion, 3% teaching (our mutual profession), and 88% Becca, who is actively worrying about our conspiring. Truly, though, she set us up. She prodded Rod to email me as follows…
Jason,
Well let’s see how your schedule shakes out, and whether or not I get stuck in a snowbank in Utah (modern-day Donner party?). My cell # is (976) 1-HOT-ROD. We’ll stay in touch, and hopefully the stars will line up.
-Rod (who sounds smarter on the Internet)
But she could be setting herself up. Find out next week…
Snootchie Bootchies,
~Jason

Dating by Becca’s star advertisements are going to hook-up!!! I cannot wait to read how this goes… from all three sides
Your obvious age-bias has me worried though Jason…
I know. Let me point out that both of them are way older than me! Jason has no room to talk. They both are wonderful.
I can’t wait to hear how everything goes. I am a bromaker/ matchmaker.
You are a Maker-par excellence Becca
LOL Thanks love.
I have no age-bias! I tried hard to show my respect to older, wiser generations here. Now if I can just remember not to ask him if he’s joined AARP yet…
My guess is Rod can take the pup down in the first round
LOL in is moments from now!
I can’t wait for the pictures!
Oh I have seen them. I would post them but I think Jason is using it for his post tomorrow.
It has been killing me to see which way he decides to run with it, lol.
I don’t know why I said tomorrow. I meant Sunday. Apparently my brain isn’t awake from my nap yet.
Hey, he may be able to get you the senior discount at Taco Bell, then you can both get the extra cheese
LOL! Okay, that’s good even if it is age-biased
Meet my husband.
Hello Becca’s husband
He never comes back to read comments on his comments. He is strange.
You are so right. I take advantage of every deal possible.
Jealous much Michael?
I DO ADMIRE THE VERY WRITE-UP RELISHING EVERY BIT OF IT.
Thank you Neel. I hope you relish it for a long time.
This is obviously the apocalyptic event that the Mayans were trying to predict. Oh to be a fly on the wall or an ant on your shoe (ref. the kilt which apparently you have axed for this occasion). Just make sure you maintain that healthy balance of Beccattention or it may very well be the end of the free world. Have fun!
Scary thought
The kilt has been referenced (and illustrated) in earlier Bro Seeks Bro posts. There will be plenty of Beccattention, no doubt
Becca, best of luck! I hope it goes well!! I think green would be a good choice.
Thanks, but it’s me who’s meeting Rod today, not Becca
At times it hard to know who is guest posting or if it’s Becca writing. Especially if you’re new here. I made the mistake a lot. Then I hung out here more and figured it out. Although sometimes I’m not sure who the guest poster is. Maybe you guys should sign or name at the end of the post.
That’s understandable. I post every Sunday with my picture at the top and my banner/signature at the bottom of the post. Rod is also a guest writer but his are not regularly scheduled. Becca has had other guest writers as well, but none of them have posted here in months. If one can’t discern my style from Becca’s, I will take that as a compliment
I don’t usually look at the little picture. Sorry but the larger ones are so much funnier.
It’s is hard to know who is writing unless you’re a regular. Bravo to you.
I know it says who the writer is in one place. I didn’t know It was still difficult. Thanks for telling me.
I think I saw it at the top, but I assumed that it was your blog it was your writing. I think people are really into the writing by the end and signature should be at the end. My 2 cents..
No I agree. You’re right
I had to steal a picture on your Facebook page it was just too good. I gave you credit for it.
LOL I am glad. That is what they are there for!
Oh, I’m so sorry. I’m kind of laughing. I’ll have to reread it. Sorry, Jason! – Amy
LOL It’s okay Amy. I’m just glad you enjoyed it
LOL I am not meeting Rod. I am introducing them. But thanks love.
Yes, I just heard from Jason. Big Oops…But you will be there? I am so confused. I’m sorry. It was late…
LOL No I won’t be there. They are both my friends, but I live in Texas. Rod’s bus is stopping in Denver where Jason lives, so I suggested they meet.
I will have to come back and read how this all went down. I think love is in the air….
LOL
If by that you mean the lovable uncle kind, then sure
Yeah, that’s what I meant :whistling:
Of course that’s what I meant.
I know, exciting.
I think everyone should seek a “Bro” to have a date with! I think the ball cap adds to the photo and the scene! Haha! You, Becca, and Rod are awesome additions. Happy holidays to all!
Happy Holidays to you!
Thanks and the same to you
forget about what you wear – or what you don’t wear (ahem)…. just don’t let the facts get in the way of a juicy story when the Twains (or in this case the bwuses) meet. Randy
Well that’s my motto above and I live by it.
Thanks Randy.
LOL they will have super fun I know!
sackcloth
Am in penance? Or mourning?
Just so you know, and don’t tell that i told you, but I am pretty sure you’re Jason’s new man crush.
I know he only makes fun of me because he LIKES me.
No he doesn’t, he is using you for your great wealth.
Ah yes, my great wealth. That’s obviously why.
You two behave now…I don;t wanna get a phone call at 4AM saying you two need a ride home. It would be OK…BUT….I’ll be drunk already and wont be SOBER enough to answer it…Have fun you guys,,,:)
xx
Sooz
Ha well his layover has now been reduced to 30 minutes. I don’t think that’s long enough for even senior citizens to get drunk
I would agree BUT…It’s YOU Jason…Hehehehehe…
xx
Sooz
Sober up incase. I have a feelin’
Me too…Hehehehehe….
xx
Sooz
the term “shakes out” was used once too often, now I am all a twitter over the kilt!
lol you see the picture I posted in his kilt?
I think it’s better you be all a twitter over the kilt than the kilt be all over Twitter.
rofl!
Sounds awesome. My wife has had her out of state girls weekends but I haven’t had my out of state guys weekend ever. I’ve wanted too but alas we have just never had the money for me to do that.
You are sweet to let her go first and use the money.
Ah you are good people as we say
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend Becca
Stringing up the Macaroni necklace today, and will give it tonight to my friend along with a picture I draw. He will be so pleased 
I even painted the macaroni, but I’m afraid they may be too small to string up–those very tiny elbow macaroni, I’m out of practice since kindergarten :/ Regarding the post, sounds like an adventure and makes me miss traveling all over the country via Greyhound or hitchhiking from hostel to hostel making new friends everywhere I went!
Oops forgot to say Merry Christmas to Jason too, so… Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. ((Hugs))
Thanks Sage, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas
LMAO. I hae a house full of company and they all looked at me funny because I burst out laughing. You’re the bestes.
lol awesome! I love that I caused that to happen
And speaking of which, I successfully strung the macaroni, and the exchange was made. I just wrote up the post, photos of the drawing and necklace included, and it’s scheduled to be posted at noon EST. 
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!
I just read it. I am sorry you felt bad.
Aw no it’s ok. I only felt bad at first as he was genuinely appreciative of it. But then he was completely ok with being a part of it, and still liked the drawing and the necklace. So yeah, he’s a great guy and it was all good
Long Distance Bromances are difficult, so I hope you made this work. Of course, if you showed up in flannel, you’ll never see him again. Remember that he told you to not wear a kilt, which generally comes in a flannel design. So I’m not the only one who feels that way.
OMG. I wake up from the stupor caused by my 2-day bus trip to find this. Talk about kiss and tell . . .
