Adventures in Dating
One of the things I enjoy hearing the most about NYC life is the vaunted "New York Dating Scene".
Why do I hear about it and not participate? Well, mostly because I moved to New York with a girlfriend, broke up with her, and then almost immediately started dating someone else.
It's for the best, because I am neither a) rich (dating in New York is muy expensivo), b) suave, or c) interested in a never-ending string of 2-hour interviews with prospective bed-mates.
Luckily for me, my friends are. Well, maybe two out of three. Or maybe one out of three.
Anyway, my most prolific dating friend, Ski2Sun (of Adventures in Getting Ready-fame) is getting himself psyched for a hot date tonight with a girl who I think looks like a friend of ours from college.
Let's go to the tape:
Ski2Sun: I'm going out with Dana tonight.
Mshafron: Dana from school? Give her my regards!
Ski2Sun: I will.
Mshafron: You going to barbounia? (editor's note: an expensive Greek restaurant on Park Ave.)
Ski2Sun: yup...she was very excited at the prospect.
Mshafron: Nice, a gold-digger…I like that.
Ski2Sun: me too...I like a girl that's into me for my money.
Mshafron: I do too…she’s got her eyes on the prize.
Ski2Sun: It will most likely lead to the type of "open marriage" I will be looking for anyway.
Ski2Sun, do you read Forbes?

Wow...thanks for making me feel old. I was just thinking "I don't understand you younger people".
Bring back the seersucker...that was something I could understand.

That's OK Heather! They laughed at me once at work because I had no idea that Laverne from Laverne and Shirley was a woman.

What? Are you kidding me? Did you think it was Vern and Shirley?

How many people born after 1980 do you think know someone named Laverne???

Holy crap! You were born after 1980? Dude!
I was born in the late 60s and I don't know anyone named Laverne either. You hadn't even seen reruns? I think you'll like Lenny and Squiggy (I feel that I need to clarify that Lenny and Squiggy are both men).
And I figured out who you look like while watching the Emmy red carpet coverage last night...Billy Bush. Or should I say a young version of Billy Bush as I am sure he was not born after 1980. I'm still shocked.

Sorry, misspoke. I was born IN 1980. Not after! But that probably doesn't make you feel any better.

Well, maybe a little better. Then if I ask you where you were when John Lennon died, at least you were alive, but probably with a dirty diaper (now do you remember our conversation at ERE?).
Please don't ask me who John Lennon is. I mean, he was no Mariah Carey, but...
(You really like Mariah Carey, huh?)
