I've got a date with a man named Dan. He just called and insisted that we watch a specific movie on NetFlix tonight, on my big TV.

I thought about pausing the moment, then checking my busy social calendar, making sure I'm not already booked. But I took a chance instead, and said It's a date!

It was a bold forward move on his part, and I admire assertive men, how could I say no? He's married, not that there is anything wrong with that, but there was no mention of her joining us.

It's a short trip to my place for him, maybe fifty paces, if that. I could DoorDash some food in, but I did that yesterday with a Big Mac, fries, and a milk shake, for $23.60! That's just stupid.
