Hangover Day

(5)

After more than an hour of conversation the meeting ended on a fairly pleasant note. I think Kootch must have been instrumental in resolving what may have been for both Denise and Shawn a nagging question: 'Is this crazy old man a threat to the neighbors around him?' Kootch declared me harmless.

What irony! The entire evening had been spent focusing on the possible (stomp) dangers posed by the crazy old man in #204 (me) While ignoring the dangers posed by the crazy old man above in apartment #304 (Walter Gerash).

In the two days which followed I have often thought about Denise, the good-looking young woman who actually listened to me. I have to admit that I felt during those rememberings an old familiar feeling from my younger days: New Love. But I'll get over it by tomorrow, Hangover Day.
