Valentine's Supper

well... I went out for supper with Pam tonight.... I don't know if you've met Pam or not....
I've known Pam all my life....Pam is single, and 44, though you would hardly know it.... I wasn't sure I should really go out at all tonight, but I figured having valentine's day supper, with even an old friend, was still better than sitting home alone...


I have to admit though, supper tonight was not all that exciting...... there was not much in the way of conversation....in fact, there was none.

I'm not sure what I went expecting....

I joked a little bit with the waitress, but other than that, not one word..... supper, in silence.

It was uncomfortable.... it was deafening....and it seemed to take forever.

When the waitress finally came by after the meal to offer coffee, I quickly declined... I thought to myself "why endure this pain any longer?"

I'm wondering now though, if maybe sitting at home alone would have been better than that kind of silence.....

sigh.....

that's the last time Paul Allan Mackay goes out for supper alone!
