My year has two halves. From March to May this city is outdoors and my small business works every single day of it. From June the heat shuts the whole thing down and I have more time than I know what to do with, which is when I start writing posts like this one.
Fifty eight, out on the west side, a business that keeps me here. Twenty years in this, most of it topping, though in the last few years I have become curious about the other side in a way I did not expect at my age and have done almost nothing about. That is partly why I am writing. It is easier to say to a stranger than to somebody I already know.
What I would like first is conversation. Long ones. I am aware that sounds like a way of avoiding the point, but it is genuinely what I want: somebody to talk to about all of this without having to explain the vocabulary first. If it turns into something, good. If it stays a correspondence for a year, that would still be a considerable improvement on the current situation.
I am forty minutes from the middle of town on a good day and half as much again on a bad one, and I go in often enough that meeting is not the obstacle here. Widowed, no children, a house full of books and a dog who is getting on.
Any age over thirty. Any gender. Mostly I would like somebody interesting.
