It all started on a Wednesday in October. I remember that it was a Wednesday because I was a part of this swing dance club (yes, you read that right, ... swing dance club on a college campus...believe it or not, it was a lot of fun when I was a member!) that met at 7:00 PM every Wednesday. Anyways, I had got out of my only class that day at around 3:30, and I was bored. Between that time and 7:00, I had no idea what else to do, so I sat outside on a concrete bench surrounding the pond and opened. ” She put her hands on my waist and got rather close. “Let’s find you something that makes this little waist shine.” She said in a whisper before turning on her toes and heading to the closet. She pulled out a dress with blue dots straight out of a 50’s pattern catalog. It had short sleeves off the shoulders, a big tie and a large skirt. She grabbed some heals. She zipped me into the dress and brushed my hair straight. She put a pink gloss on me and some eye shadow. She didn’t at all try to. Why?" I swim every day. Meet me at the pool after four and I'll tell you my sad story."I did a quick visual survey. "How sad can it be? You don't seem to be missing limbs or anything..."She looked over my shoulder. "That guy's waving for you. I expect you to be there at four?" Sure." I trudged back to give further directions. I spent the rest of the afternoon unpacking and stowing clothing and gear for my life with roots. Hooked up my electronics. Checked out the DSL, configured a wireless. .The nurse returned shortly and said no wigglers..Cheryl piped up with.."you've been bareback for a month without being sure"? The nurse said " he was shooting blanks last time and this check up was just a follow up".. We headed back to the hotel to pick up my company 4x4 and the girls were headed into Reno to shop and head home later in the day for Cheryl to work. Michelle and I headed to the Ranch in my 4x4..as soon as we got off the freeway I was in four wheel drive and was breaking fresh.
