mr. shy is a hunting, ice-fishing, apartment above garage building sort of guy. i.e., a genuine mainer. 'cept he's from massachusetts. (actually he had some interesting words about the salem jail sarah, and screaming from the "nuthouse".) the set up was apparently all kevin's (the customer) idea, which says that he probably thinks i'm nice and doesn't know me very well. you know, most people who don't know me well think i'm nice. and probably conservative (which, HUH? i don't get at all but probably it's not all that irrational from the outside perspective).
so while he was very nice and polite. i don't think it's a match. he did say i'm good company, which ofcourse we know is true, so his taste is unerring. that's a plus
