The Aerie
Had a nice little interlude this morning. I was driving to work when I stopped for a stop sign. On the other side of the street, an attractive young woman was walking her dogs. Now it was a little distressing to me to realize that my definition of "young woman" has extended to women who are probably in their early Thirties, but be that as it may she was very attractive. She was wearing shorts and sandals, and a thin, summery tank top.
As I came to a stop I glanced at her and our eyes met. She didn't smile, she just gave me that neutral look that one gives to harmless strangers.
It was a nice moment: a pretty girl looked at me and didn't laugh, didn't run screaming down the street! Yes, it's gotten to the point where I'm simply happy to be invisible, but harmless, to attractive young women.
Hey, when you're me, and you're driving a Geo Metro, you take what you can get.
