I have a girlfriend. My favorite breakfast is pancakes. I am not good at cooking. I am half Italian. I go biking every weekend.
I work at a publishing company. I read and write. I like to read non-fiction autobiography books. Italian food is my favorite food. I made lasagna for the first time. I want to travel. I am interested in biking. I have ridden a bike before.
My girlfriend and I are planning a bike ride and we want you to join us! I am really tempted. Would we go on one of those trails you spoke of? Do you think I could handle the mountains? I think we could go on a fairly easy ride to start out with. Then, if you like it, we can try a tougher one next time. What do you think? Sign me up! What time should we meet? I think we should start fairly early, that way we can catch the sunrise and beat the traffic. The trails get busy during the day. Do you have any trips planned? Not yet, I keep reading up on all the cities, and each one sounds more intriguing than the next. I will tell you about them on the ride. I can meet you at 7, is that okay? Would you like to grab something to eat after the ride? my treat That sounds great! Thank you. Do you know of somewhere good to go? I went to an italian place down town about 2 weeks ago and I think you would love it. Does your girlfriend like Italian cuisine.? Yes, she does. That sounds really good. What is their specialty? I had a meatball jparmesam bake that my tastebuds have been craving since I was there. It is a comfortable casual dining place. I hear their ravioli  and risoto with clams is great.  That sounds really good. It's making me hungry! Have you read any good books lately? I started reading a cook book...Old World Italian. I want to try all the recipies. I can teach you some simple ones.\
