A Fall Wedding at Skylands

the clown

and then I got the letter from the clown. Now, you'd think that a dating site called "concerned singles" would be light on costumed characters, but the clown (to protect the innocent, we'll call him, oh let's see, "Zippy") has written to me four times, including his clown resume and photos every time. It's not pretty, although he has some impressive hair going on.

Should I take it personally? Probably not. Did he mean it personally? Well, since it was a form letter? Probably not.......

okay, maybe a reprieve...

okay, so it wasn't death; it was a fainting spell. Now, I attributed this to the pulse quickening that happens, of course, when someone is slated to meet me......but after four hours in the emergency room, we can blame this on dehydration. He went home to contemplate his near demise, I went home to read the NY Times and finish the Chinese on the table from last night.....

and off we go!

Has anyone faked their own death to get out of meeting me? I didn't think so until today.......
