22 CLARK BUS
I know this is a longshot. It was Friday 5/22, about 5:30pm. Bus heading north from the Loop. I was sitting across from you. Our eyes met for a second. Was that a moment? Would have asked for your number, but you jumped off the bus while I was distracted by the screaming.
ME: Tall, good looking guy with the devilish grin and piercing gaze.
YOU: Pretty, petite blond. School ring on little finger of left hand. Blue blouse, top two buttons undone. Short blue skirt, some seam threads broken. Small run in left stocking just below the knee. Black high heals, looked new. Ears pierced, but no rings. Peach fuzz on neck (noticed when the sun hit just right ). Copy of Payton Place, Mentos, sunglasses, bottle of something (Perrier? I couldn’t see clearly with the quick glimpse I got) in your purse.
Coffee?
CORNER OF IRVING PARK & CALIFORNIA
YOU: Gorgeous brunette on the second floor with blinds up.
I was the bald guy with binoculars and the maori tatt on his face, trying (oops!) to hide in the bushes across the street. You can do better than that guy you’re going with.
Coffee?

Something in my living room
Where's that window washer? Well, thought the grime on the windows gave them an interesting look once the sunlight hit them from the side.
