A warm evening with a beautiful sunset. I am sitting at the classy thai restaurant waiting for my date to arrive, he is 10 minutes late. I decide that if he does not show after 15 minutes I will be on my way, but sure to make a stop at the market to pick up a bag of cookies to comfort myself! Just another Tuesday night at home with the good old cookies… He walks in, Looks pretty good. I stand up and give him a hug like I have know him for years. We sit and begin to go through the menu. He starts telling me about his past acting jobs, this and that…who is who in the theater and blah, blah, blah… I don’t know about you, but who cares is all that is going through my head! I can’t seem to get a word in let alone a breath to ask what I should order. This is going to be long and painfull. I order the Pad Thai, it’s safe! He tells me all about a boat he performed on and a show he traveled with. A song he sang, a dance he did, a director he worked with… For all I know he found an old VHS recorder fucked some old guy in the back of a cab and thought he was making a movie, Actors! It was as if he was at an interview for an acting gig and was trying to get the job. Well, I was not hiring! He did have nice eyes though… So, I spent most of the time gazing into them. Now that I think about it, he was much cuter in his photo than in person, good thing he is also a photographer, oh and an artist, and a designer. Does it ever stop?!!! Finally, dinner is over and the bill is paid. I begin to make a run for the door when he grabs me and tells me he must show me something! I don’t have a moment to utter a word when I find myself in an elevator going to the roof of his building, I think to myself… “What am I doing?” We get to the top of his building and he starts showing me all the spots on the roof he has taken photos of. A photo of a wall really does nothing for me. So, I enjoy the view of the sunset on such a lovely night. It starts to get dark so I ask to go but first use the bathroom. his apartment is exactly what I expect, he has redone the entire space from the floor up, to adding walls. He offered to show me his murphy bed, I was done, I needed to get out! I made a run for the door and ran down the hall, luckily I didn’t have to wait for the elevator…
