I had lunch with my senior year prom date recently. It was nice to be able to sit down with someone that you haven't seen in 20 or so years and feel comfortable, but that is where we were. This is not to imply that I am meeting men for lunch all the time. I don't. But He and I were friends for a really long time. We saw the King and I at Kleinhan's Music Hall back in the early 80s. (apparently the broadway debut of this round of the King and I occurred in January 1985.... we must have seen him in '84)
We also went to see Camelot, with Sir Richard Burton (the actor, not the explorer.... yes, I am dork enough to know about the explorer and am currently reading a translation of his version of the Arabian Nights...) During that expedition to the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto, we broke into the upper balcony for dress rehearsal and heard them go over the number, "Fie on Goodness". Burton showed up in his jeans... we were enthralled.
He was in town to see "Wicked". Did I mention that he is gay? And as I learned, so was everyone else that I dated or wanted to date in highschool... (note if your initials are PA or KK, I have no idea either way.. but you are the only ones... )was gay. In fact, as I learned of yet another guy that I found cute being gay, I explaimed (or exclaimed for those of you not drinking vodka... Hey my house is under construction and my daughter calls me a whore regularly, what would you drink under the circumstances?), "Did I like anyone in highschool who was straight?" Our waiter, at Ann Sather's in Boystown in Chicago, laughed, looked at me and said, "NO!" Much to my consternation...
Oh well... I eventually found men interested in my charms...
Although we never did discuss the whole prom night issue... hmmmm wonder that was about? A discussion for another trip, I guess
