This is a new dress.  I’m staring at myself in the ladies’ room mirror at the Roxy, trying to be Heather Locklear.  Or Salma Hayek.  Someone confident.

My friend got married this weekend. Where all the other weddings were in places like Vegas or the Outer Banks, this wedding was in Akron, Ohio. Really.

It was a nice evening with just the two of us. We had a candle light dinner and a bottle of wine. You looked very sexy in your elegant evening gown. On the way home you were saying how much of a lovely time you had at our romantic dinner.
