After dinner he drove me to his apartment in a part of town I was unfamiliar with. I had no idea who he was. He had a lava lamp and little furniture. :-) But he drove me back to my Dutch Colonial and we took a walk and said goodnight. That was it. Maybe he just needed to connect. Or there was that fix-up with a man who had his arm sawed off by the Mafia- he had two arms on our date plus a limo and driver. Anyway, at that time I was "in love" with someone else. Whatever, the problems of marriage #2- one son discovered hockey and the other discovered hunting, fishing and the great outdoors, But that is another story...stories.
