Getting very close to three years, CJ. I've been beta reading Circumnavigation for you since October 21, 2009. That's 133 chapters in 148 weeks.
Not a joke. The only amusing thing about the cliffhangers is CJ's feeble attempts at denying their existence or blaming them on a team member.
I think he's defining the word about for you. Doesn't seem to be particularly Texan to me. He is about (near, approximately, almost) 5.1259 on the Kinsey Scale...at the moment, the four decimal places implying a degree of precision not normally associated with the word about.

Now a question for you. It you are over 6, does that mean you are approaching non-sexual?
The Kinsey Scale:
Rating Description
0...... Exclusively heterosexual
1...... Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2...... Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3...... Equally heterosexual and homosexual
4...... Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5...... Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6...... Exclusively homosexual
X...... Non-sexual
