The mating game

April 23, 2008
Philadelphia airport. I have not been here in a while. I sit in the Old Philadelphia tavern drinking a Corona. I have to slow down on my drinking. Travel has a way of encouraging this behavior in my own mind. I was working and decided to stop and take in the moment. Business travelers all trying to squeeze in this little space with their carry-ons. Men and Women both checking hands for rings (like that always matters). I have learned that whether or not I am working; I act like I’m working. For this social introvert [who is often accused of being a social butterfly] does not like being hit on. Why in the world would anyone hit on an almost 50 year old woman. Oh yeah, Obviously I have a job. Obviously I am past child bearing years and obviously I am not interested ;-) Gotta love the ‘mating game.
