I.R.P.
ENTRY:
The Joy of Public Transportation
Dear Harlan,
I
once did something so totally out of character I still can't believe
it. Every day I would ride the bus to my job in downtown Houston.
I would notice a very attractive young man who always took the
same busses I did. From listening to his conversation with his
friends, I could tell that he wasn't married. Since I was always
very shy around guys, I couldn't imagine how we would ever meet.
But one night I had to work late and take the last bus out. He
had to work late, too, and was one of four people on the bus when
I got on that evening.
Even
though everyone on a virtually empty bus always has their own
seat, I took a deep breath and walked up to the Mystery Man's
seat and had him move over so that I could sit down. He took it
from there. In August we celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary.
We have three beautiful children and we are still very fond of
public transportation!
Cathleen
