Positive Response

"I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid."

Twenty-five years ago today:

December 19, 1986

I wore my suspenders with my new International Male Navy blue suit today. I seemed to get some positive response.

I am not sure of my plans tonight. If I don't go out with Eileen I may simply go to the gym.

After my workout at the gym I would still go to THE VORTEX in Palo Alto. On the other hand, I may just see what Mark Landreth may be up to for tonight.

I wanted Mark to accompany me to meet Eileen and her friend, Katrina, at CITY NIGHTS but some high-school girlfriend wouldn't leave his house. And so…I decided to go on my own.

Unfortunately, it was dominant Chinese and Flip (Filipino) night at CITY NIGHTS. Eileen finally showed up and we did dance quite a bit. I found Katrina to be a 'porker', so I know Mark wouldn't have liked her.

I was able to enter my office building and I took Eileen up there to check it out.

It was an okay evening.

How can we know the dancer from the dance?
