Yesterday he left the oh-so-gently stated comment about my character’s first date: The fact that your character calls this “the best night of her life” over stale rolls at a 2-star restaurant is more ironic than Ms. Pennington’s ever-present belief that “Medieval poetry is the way of the future.” I responded by asking him what his genius idea was for a first date, and while he overlooked any response on the topic this morning, he seems to have circled back to it. And for a first, the answer is so lengthy he’s added a Post-It note to the side to make room. The perfect date depends on the people involved. If she enjoys fine food, then I’d take her to the Catbird Seat. If she enjoys music, then I’d take her to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The perfect date doesn’t have anything to do with me. It’s entirely about finding a setting that highlights who she is and seeking to learn about each other within that amenable atmosphere.
