I was driving to relax. I didn’t have a particular direction. I was driving just to drive. I had been driving for three hours and I was finally starting to feel better. I turned on the air conditioning and took a deep breath. I drove for another hour and my gas light came on. I pulled into the nearest gas station. I filled up and went inside. “I need directions,” I said to the attendant. “To where?” He asked. “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “That place is easy to find! Just take a left at the light,” he said, smiling.

Lipstick on a Date
I was nervous about the date. I met him online. I put on lipstick. I didn’t like the color. I changed colors. I was now wearing crimson red. I drove to the restaurant. I found the table we reserved. The date went well. I brought him back home. Jim looked around. “Who are all these other men?” He asked. “My other husbands. Welcome to the clan. We can get married tomorrow,” I said. He tried to leave, but the door was locked. “Don’t worry, Jim, you’ll get used to it,” one of my husbands said.
