  Now I want to write about tonight.  I did what I used to do all the time;  something I haven’t done for a long time.  I found my jewelry, the earrings I could barely get in, it had been so long.  I found some stockings and told the puppy, “Don’t even come near me.” Got the old hairdryer out and tried to be as patient as I could.  Found my tweezers and figured out which make-up to use.  It’s been a long time.

  
  

  Then I got in my car and drove downtown, to a new club.  There was a band, from out of town, and the featured dancer was supposed to be good.  I saw J, who I had taken privates from, for a year.  She had center stage.  Everybody else had pooped out and it was just her.  I took my shoes off and went up to dance with her.  She was so surprised to see me.  She gave me a big hug ’cause it’s been a while.  The band played and we just stood their holding each other. 

  
  

  I really liked the place.  The food was great, the feeling plush, and it was dark.  Hey, I know why I liked it.  One whole wall was brick, just like the room I’m sitting in.  Only there’s a giant window in my brick.  I don’t drink any more, except for very special occasions, but I really like a nice bar and this place had one.  That’s where I usually like to sit because then you have a better view, you’re up higher.

  
  

  It was good to see and be seen again.  It felt good to get dressed up.  What I liked the best though was being downtown at night when everything’s lit up and people are rushing along, cold and a little drunk. 

  
  

  The other thing I liked was that there was no smoking, except for hukas.  Harry’s last bar, Kolbeh, was so smoky I could only stand to be in there for an hour, tops.  I think Harry’s new place will be a hit.
