... ..on the set ....September 5, 2007   In the car, on my way to work, I stop for a red traffic light.  When the light turns green, I must turn left.  From my right, I feel the gravitational pull of another car and I know its driver is obliged to proceed straight ahead.  Meanwhile, I am listening to a melodic alt-country tune with smart, romantic lyrics.  I feel entertained. I look into the car beside me and spy an achingly beautiful woman behind the wheel, her well-manicured hands at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions.  She stares at the light and never looks at me.  The light turns green and off she goes never to be seen again.  I am indifferent to the separation.  I have read ahead and I know she only seemed achingly beautiful.  previous..|..current..|..archives..|..3d quarter index..|..next
