Thanks for obtaining the lobsters, Ms. Chic!

Lobster would be nice to eat. I can order brown rice for you, and bow-tie pasta for myself.

Would you like Lobster Bisque as an appetizer?

We can order steak any time we want

The song on the Jukebox: "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now," by McFadden and Whitehead. A disco classic.

Would you like some red wine? I'm going to stick with the Cherry Grenadine.

I may have a half glass of Merlot, thank you. I will stop there, of course, so I can walk back to the cottage in about 40 minutes or so. Did anything interesting happen today at work, or otherwise? Oh, I meant to say, I really like that shirt. You look nice this evening.

Why thank you.....and you look swell yourself! With that Annie Hall hat! And that shawl. And that omnipresent Natural Scent...very evocative!

Work, Mon Cherie, with few exceptions, is always Work

One day, I'll have to find somebody to serenade you via Violin; how would you feel about that?

I would really enjoy walking on the beach with you tonight, under the Stars, amid a nice, fresh Lilac-scented breeze.

We can walk right next to the water, since the Tide is getting lower.

I can escort you at least part of the way towards your Cottage.

Unless, of course, you desire some Solitude, that which engenders Inspiration.

I would be disappointed, for I enjoy our conversation, and the scent of your hair. But I'd be glad, too, for you would be happy in your own skin.

Consummate inspiration is frequently found amongst people who are healthily autonomous beings, and who are able to combine, in harmony, Solitude, and Companionship.

That is a sweet thought! My favorite instruments sounds are low and sultry...the high-pitched ones send me running (politely) from the room. Maybe we could get a little Rat Pack style quartet...something that sounds like it belongs in a Sinatra movie, perhaps? After that, let's dance one more slow song, and then, can you walk me home? If you have enough time, I will show you the cottage I am renting. It is quite charming.

While I do require some amount of solitude, I find these days that I get rather a lot of it. And, while I would still choose solitude if the other option were company for company's sake, I would much rather spend some time with a like-minded soul such as yourself! If I had even one Aspie friend, particularly one who was capable of enjoying low-key activities like Historical walking tours or Shakespeare in the park, I would be quite happy indeed! I agree that being bale to enjoy time alone, and balance that with time spent with others is a sign of overall health. I wish more people saw that.

Come on, lets go! May I take your arm? Or is that too forward?

I think you would have been delighted with Troubadours serenading you with Mandolins during the Days of Chivalry.

I accept your arm, and you are most graceful! And it's natural in you...not an act!

It's nice right by the water....under the stars. We can hear the Gentility of the Waves. The classiness of the Sea.

It's so graceful, this Dance of Nature at night. Even the lighthouse in the background augments this impression.

We walk on the wet sand; it's perfect: it doesn't stick to our feet! And it's cool and refreshing; our skin is loving it!

The great thing is: we are together. We know we don't have to talk if we don't want to. We can enjoy the Sensations. And if we want to talk, we talk

It is delightful. It has all the quiet charm of an Edward Hopper painting without the feeling of loneliness and isolation. When I made my first trip out here, before I rented the cottage, or even started hanging out at the bar, I thought I would feel like an outsider (as I do in most places). Being on this planet, though, I do feel more like I fit in. Look! If you squint down the beach, you can see the porch light of the cottage from here. It has a little white rail porch with the ceiling painted sky blue. I like to sit out there sometimes and just watch the tide. It also has a few dunes around it with some sea oats growing on them.

I'm so glad you were able to find this Cottage.

It must have been a Serendipitous moment; you must have had an impulse right there. You fell in love with that Cottage. You just had to have it! And you used your will, and you got it!

You worked hard for it, indeed. Now you will, for the rest of your life, enjoy the Fruits of your Labors.

I imagine you sleep on a feather bed, right under a window, so you can hear the sea upon falling asleep, and upon arising in the morning.

I am honored that you allowed me to see this aspect of you.

Well, I am glad you came along! It is a bit of a walk, and besides, you might think I am trying to take advantage of you, so to speak. ahem. Yes. I have always dreamed of having a place like this. It is close enough to walk to things I need, but also right on the beach, yet, it has never flooded or been blown away by a hurricane. It is small, but it is plenty of space for me. I can set up my studio right in the living room space, and there is a small, old-fashioned kitchen, a bedroom and, look, can you see the little cupola on the roof? That is actually a tiny loft. It has a little spiral staircase that goes up there. I have even found that I can grow a few things in big pots out back, so I am very happy here. Do you have, or have you though of getting, a place close by?

For Christmas, I can get you some stained glass for the Cupola

Makes me think of Tycho Brahe looking up at the stars before the advent of the telescope.

'Tis most enjoyable....the tour of the Cottage which you offered me.

And the preceding walk upon the Pristine Beach.

Alas, I must depart, though--I have to get some shuteye in my little bungalow a mile distant from yours.

I most heartily enjoyed our walk; I shall glory in the sound of your Voice as I traipse towards my Bungalow.

I shall enjoy the Sights, the Sounds, the Scents, and the Sensuality, of you tomorrow

Goodnight Kraftie! You are a consummate gentleman. I will look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening. I am glad I was able to show you around. It is a lot of fun to have someone to share thing with. Rest well.

It's a beautiful Dawn of the Day.

I am sitting out on the patio of the Bar, watching the people walk by. It's a very mellow scene, despite all the people.

I am having bacon and eggs, with Swiss cheese and Spinach-leaf garnish. Toast with butter.

Wishing a certain Someone With a Shawl was with me.

That really looks delicious, Kraftie! Waiter? I would like to have the same dish, please. While it may be late, it is never tooo late for breakfast!

'Tis delightful to see you, Ms. Chic. How was your workday?

What would you like to drink with your food?

There's a song in my head: "Don't Mess with Bill," by the Marvelettes. Would you like that on the Jukebox?

^^^turn it up
