christ. tomorrow being the first day of school, i must've scanned four thousand binders, backpacks and pencils today. it was exhausting. and in the midst of the exhaustion was the king of canals, who patiently waited in a long line of sniveling kids and bitchy parents to purchase a single travel-sized package of tissues with his credit card.
did you buy this just so you could stand in my line? i asked.
yes, he said, as my neighboring cashier gave me a giddy thumbs-up sign.
well, i told him, that's sweet. almost as sweet as the guy who hung the full moon over the canals the first night i went to his house. what happened to him?
he's still here, k-o-c answered. and he'd like to have you come over tonight.
well, those back-to-school supplies exhausted me. the only thing that looks good right now is wine, jalapeno cheese dip and chocolate. but i must admit, i was tempted. and by what? a sexy schmuck in a black stetson? as someone who missed her senior prom, spent 25 years between two marriages and four years with a hopelessly predictable married man, i am clueless. will somebody (meaning you, trumpzero) please explain this dating nonsense to me?
