Happy Cinco!!! You might need a strong drink or two for this one. The true Stripe story.

I live near a coffee shop where people hang out. That’s where I first saw her. Long stripe of gray hair, brown motorcycle boots, sleeve tattoo… rides a Triumph.

During my sober stretch I got very routine. Get groceries at X-o’clock, see Stripe again when I get back. It got to be something I’d look forward to every week. To the point of ‘Aww, no Stripe this week? Bummer’ – Nope, she was in the fucking store this time. Holy shit!! I’m going to wait for her to come out – did that just really happen?

Now here’s where it gets romantic for me. She gets into an old Volvo 240dl wagon. Now I just want to fast-forward through all the bullshit conversation and get to the part where she asks me if I like old Volvo’s – and I can say “I fucking LOVE old Volvo’s!”. If you follow me you’d know that ‘this boy’s in TROUBLE’.

I got one more chance in the store after that. And I choked. But it was a Hell of a good practice. It’s hardball in the wild.

Hard ‘H’

Sometimes perception can become reality. So, I’m going to try and project us in the best light. This is the story of Brenna. I read about her just like everybody else. Front page news. Huge scandal: ‘Ex Police Commissioner faces jail time’ about sums it up. But, it’s all over now – resolved – no more news. She’s just a regular person that I bump into occasionally in the neighborhood. I for one have a crush on her.

So, here’s my news.

Couple months ago, she’s behind me at the grocery store. She just got back from NY – something about NY makes you very friendly when you come home. She’s wearing a very dark black ‘uptown’ type outfit. I’m happy but don’t show it.

A month ago, Friday and it feels like the first day of spring. I may be a color-blind mutant with no taste but, even I could tell you. That was a Periwinkle blue dress with matching shoes – and the hair is longer. This time, I kind of had to give it up.

I don’t want to ‘Doxx’ anyone. Myself especially. And I’m sorry if she thinks I look at her funny. I for one don’t want her in my life because I think she’d be too good for me. The rest of you should be nice. And not to be a dick, but she is only my 2^nd favorite local Ex Police Commissioner.
