... solitude

The highlights of my day:
1. I ate dinner alone in a restaurant tonight. "One is the Loneliest Number" played on the stereo as ate my meal. No joke.
2. A large, buff black man named Kojo with bulging muscles and big hands cleaned my teeth today, for the second time in a year. Much to my initial surprise, he really is one of the gentlest dental hygenists I’ve ever had.
3. I saw Paul Simon in Central Park this afternoon. Funny thing was that I haven't seen his face in ages, but I recognized him instantly. As my Wu-nderful friend put it, he sure is a wee man!
