(n) the edible fruit of a palm
By: Mark Morgan on 4/25/2000; 10:13 AM

It's been so long, I'd almost forgotten how. But it's like anything else: just pretend you know what the hell you're doing. Except in the area of extreme sports, that'll get you through the first few days of anything, until you actually learn how to do it.

Ring on the left finger. I inquire after the husband. No husband! Well.

Me: "So, if I may be so forward, do you have a boyfriend?" She: "No." "Do you have plans for the weekend?" (Thoughtful pause, about ten thousand years, maybe?) "No." "Would you like to get together this weekend?" "Yes."

Good grief! Now I have most of a week for the panic to really build to a high tempo. Saturday is not too soon in coming.

Let this be a lesson to you all: if I can get a bloody date, anyone can. No more excuses!
