Should Old Aquaintance Be Remembered!
(Thursday Late Report - the editors' DSL was out yesterday)
And ordered! Speghetti Special from Colluta's, an old favorite not seen for many a moon.
Scene: A cold windy Chicago morning, waiting at the bus stop. The editor spots an attractive young couple. The man is without any protection from the elements save his winter coat. The woman is wearing a blue and white striped hat. As the seconds turn to minutes, the editor thinks the man must be cold. As-if on cue, his girlfriend, who is about six inches shorter, looks up at him with a smile and places her mitten-clad hands over his ears. He smiles back. They stand like this for several minutes until they notice the rest of us looking down the street at an approaching bus. As they get on, the editor overhears the girl saying "she had the most ridiculous jeans, I mean (pointing at her knee), like acid washed..." and this slightly detracted from the idyllic mood this scene had created. It was at this moment that the elements channeled Monz' voice and said "don't destroy love's young dream!" And then the bus was gone, but it was crowded as the CTA does a p***poor job keeping their busses from bunching-up, so the editor waited for the next one so he could sit down and read his newspaper.
UPDATE: Monz reports that it wasn't his voice. Monz also notes that the story is reminicent of Stuart Dybek (CTA, young lovers). And we know what the Monz thinks about him ("Hey! It's me, Stuart Dybek! I'm here again! Surprise!")
