Old Mans Time She enters my view, and my pace quickens. Her long black hair is probably not all her own, but who cares. Her head is tilted to the side, which makes me wonder if she slept wrong. Her jeans are perfect, just barely able to contain her equally perfect butt. Her sleeves are rolled up like that character from One Day at a Time, Snyder I think his name was. Her flip flops open and close with each step. I wonder how she can walk so fast in that get up. She must be a track star. I’m out of breath and barely keeping up with her. I’m determined to be strategically behind her when we reach the door. Like a marathon runner who can see the finish line, I force my legs to push on. We reach the door, and I'm right behind her. It would be perfect, except I’m out of breath, and can’t talk. She holds the door open and I wheeze out a thank you. I watch her walk out of my view. Story of my life, broads walking out on me. Oh well, she was too young anyway. I need someone more my speed, which at the current moment is somewhere between slow and still. Lately I haven’t had luck with the older women either. These old dames want Katherine Hepburn treatment, a hard thing to do on a social security check. I’m no Humphrey Bogart, but I look pretty good for my age, 71 my next birthday. My teeth are all my own, and I still have more hair on my head then in my ears and nose. My dress is relatively trendy; there’s no plaid in my closet. I don’t usually have trouble finding dates. First dates go well, I have about a 90% conversion rate for second dates, and that is where the problems begin. Holding a woman’s hand is nice enough, romantic even if you are into that kind of mushy stuff. I’m a gentleman and know to ho... ... middle of paper ... ... want to say.“ “If you’re going to stay out all night you should let me know so I don’t stay up worrying.” I try to interject, which is a mistake. “That was my fault. She fell asleep and I should have called you.” “I'm not talking to you.” Insulted in my own home. This is a special kind of feeling like sand down your swimming trucks. The testosterone level is beginning to rise. Lucky for him I never took the little blue pill last night or else I’d have all sorts of pint up rage. Mara senses that it’s best if they leave. “Thank you for a wonderful night Bernie. I’ll call you later.” We hug and I am tempted to kiss her like the French do, just to irritate junior, but I won't disrespect my lady like that. I kiss her cheek and walk her to the door. He lets her leave first and then stares at me as he walks out the door. “Kids.” The story of my life.

On October 29th, 1929, the stock market crashed and the day became forever known as “Black Tuesday.” Along with the stock market crash, low interest rates, reduced government intervention, stretched loans and expansion, installment plans that created superficial wealth, the farming crisis, decay in core industries and forced bank foreclosures created a downward spiral for most Americans and in the end pushed them over the edge into the great depression. U.S citizens turned to Herbert Hoover for an answer, but in to end were disappointed in the core efforts to fight off this major crisis and so in the election of 1932 things took a new twist when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected 472 votes to 59. With the Bank in crisis and citizens panicking Roosevelt rushed into the first 100 days of office enacting the New Deal. Roosevelt actively worked to provide relief for the needy, economic recovery and financial support during his

I started to walk across the street to my friend Lacey’s house. Lacey lives just outside Detroit, but like my family, her family comes to the cape for the summer. Our families’ have been friends for about 10 years, but we normally don’t see or talk to each other during the year, only summertime seems to bring us together. Traditionally Lacey and I leave for the beach together, even at age 7 we walked with our mothers, so I knew I had to tell her about this errand before I left for town.

The movie Friday was one of the best comedies I have ever seen. It had a great director, a talented cast, a good plot, a spectacular soundtrack, and is filled with funny gags and jokes. It was by far the most hilarious movie of the decade. I have never laughed so hard in all of my life. I loved this movie.
I stepped out of the chilly November air and into the warmth of my home. The first snowfall of the year had hit early in the morning, and the soft, powdery snow provided entertainment for hours. As I laid my furry mittens and warm hat on the bench to dry, I was immediately greeted with the rich scent of sweet apple pie, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and the twenty-pound turkey my mother was preparing for our Thanksgiving feast.
Christmastime was always a magical time of year for me. The beautifully decorated shopping malls, with toys everywhere you looked, always fascinated me. And the houses, with the way their lights would glow upon the glistening snow at night, always seemed to calm me. But decorating the Christmas tree and falling asleep underneath the warm glow of the lights, in awe that Santa Claus would soon be there, was the best part of it all. As a child, these things enchanted me. Sure, the presents were great, but the excitement and mystery of Christmas; I loved most of all. Believing…that’s what it was all about. Believing there really was a Santa and waking up Christmas morning, realizing he’d come, as my sleepy eyes focused on all the fancily wrapped presents before me.
So, I run, feet pounding on the pavement, and I push Freya out the way of the vehicle that would have killed her.
Dating has evolved over the years, so now we comprehend evolution is not always an improvement. A traditional date would provide communication, familiarizing, and a lasting first impression. Now cell phones, modern dates and social media have made dating worse. Cell phones have interfered with couples communicating in dates, dates at a club instead of diner have made it impossible to get to know someone, and social media now give first impression of anyone.
“Are you sure you want to be at home? How about you stay at my place tonight instead?”
At some point in our lives where we are searching for that special someone. The methods of going about dating have changed quite dramatically over the years. Going out has grown from traditional dating, to internet 'dating', to group dating.
Before I get into my first date, I want to mention I have a lot of failed “first dates”. I
