Weird date
This one happened in NY. I don't recall how I met him. I think I was impressed by his Habitat for Humanity deeds, so I agreed to go out with him. I remember I wore stiletto heels and spent an inordinate time getting ready. I think I was just bored. Anyway, I remember we took the train to what seemed like North Carolina. It was close to an hour and I was under the scrutiny of homeless men. "I don't know why I'm dressed like a tramp, either," I wanted to tell them. When we got off the train, I looked around and knew I had left Kansas. I hobbled on my heels behind him, still with positive thoughts that I wouldn't end up dead in an alley. Long story short, he took me to a Walmart. Or was it a Target? I hope it was Target. "I just have to pick up a toothbrush, " he said. A 45 minute train ride to pick up a toothbrush that he could have bought at the Duane Reade (NY's version of CVS) on my block. Alas, there we stood in aisle 3, under glaring lights, staring at rows and rows of Oral B. I haven't worn those stilettos since.
