enjoyed by a Californian.
Then I went to a bookshop, while I waited
for a colleague to arrive, and we had a brief meeting regarding the
coming week.
Now I am sat in a coffee shop, writing to
you. Not very entertaining I'm afraid.

Do you still speak with your parents?
Sometimes you sound as if you've come to the
end of your life and now just looking back. Do you think the most
exciting parts are in the past?
Have you a wife? Girlfriend(s)?
Children?
So you've been in trouble with the law.
Details, please.
Be honest. Do you think you're smarter than
99% of the population?
When people meet you in real life, are they
too charmed or afraid to take offense at your impudence?

I don't speak with my parents.
I haven't come to the end of my life. In the
words of Sinatra; "The best is yet to come." It's more, the end of
a chapter, and soon I'll embark on my next one, which will bring
plenty of excitement I'm sure, though I'm not an excitable
character.
I don't have a wife, or girlfriend, or
children.
I haven't had a great deal of trouble with
the law actually.
My impudence. When did I become impudent?
Ha. People either love me or hate me. It's been this way all my
life. I rarely cause offense of any kind in a first meeting.

I see, so you save your impudence for
subsequent meetings.
You won't tell me details, so I'll imagine
that you were the Artful Dodger at 15, stealing to survive on the
streets.
Not excitable? I get excited by little
things - such as the sun if it ever shows up this morning. I guess
that's not so little, being a gigantic ball of fire.
Have you ever forgiven someone for a great
wrong done to you? Or are you intractable?

Ha, I admire how you inform me of how I am
on certain matters, rather than waiting for my clarification.
It's not that I'm withholding detail, it's
simply a complex subject and hard to summarise in one sitting.
You strike me as an intelligent, methodical,
feminine, romantic mess.
I have forgiven, but it is rare. Usually I
don't forgive. I am not in contact with anyone who has betrayed me,
and certainly none of my former flames.
What did you think of my day thus far? It
seemed quite mundane to me, having written it out.
I see a growing warmth in our exchange,
which is enamouring.

Your meal was anything but mundane. Do you
often eat like that? If my breakfast seemed excessive, it's because
during the workweek I usually have nuts and a banana for breakfast
and a salad for lunch.
I had a big laugh over your assessment of
me. Feminine. So ironic. But then we haven't met in real life. You
might change your mind.
Is there anything off-limits in my
questioning?

There is nothing off limits. And your
questions can't offend me. If I feel I don't want to answer, I'll
politely decline.
I don't think you are conventionally
feminine. Uniquely I suspect.
I might change my mind? So, you intend on
meeting me? Interesting.
Your breakfast didn't seem excessive.
I eat well, every day, yes. Though I eat
breakfast once a week at most.
