I am supposed to have a date with Dale tonight, the man I tricked with the night that John stood me up. Actually, this will be about our fifth attempt at an evening together in the past month. He travels a great deal, and the dates we have made have all been broken due to various circumstances. I think we both want to see each other again– but not passionately. I almost dread going. When I got home tonight the phone was ringing– I didn’t answer. A few minutes later it rang again. I need a minute to sit here in my bathrobe and sip a beer and wonder if I really want to go out tonight. Perhaps he will not call back…
