I ran into a lot of guys who had been geeks back inhigh school who were now even bigger geeks [withbombshell wives on their arms]. I ran into jocks th...thad let themselves go, all the muscle now flab. I evensaw a few going bald already. A few had stayed inshape and had gotten into professional sports [I don’tkeep up with sports and didn’t know until other formerschoolmates had told me]. I split my time eithercatching up with some guys over a few beers or beingsnagged for a dance with. I noticed him leaning up in his seat looking over at me from time to time. Being somewhat unsure and afraid, I made no move. But in a few minutes the guy got out of his car and came to my window and asked, “Do you have the time?” That started a short conversation about nothing in particular until he asked, “Can I sit in the car with you for a while since it was cool outside?” He was a cute younger guy, probable twenty or so... as clean cut as Clark Kent, black horn-rim glasses, moderate. For once, Mum and Dad allowed us to pay the bill without cheating or arguing. It was another sign that we were proper adults in their eyes.When we got home from the steakhouse, and Mum and Dad were watching the 'News at Ten' presented by Alastair Burnet, Jen phoned Hamish at the flat to check that they had all arrived safely; I could tell from the giggling that she was talking to either Julie or Sheila, and that she was being updated on the 'goings-on'. Then she got all quiet and started.
