This was with a drunken man - over 36 - with whom I shared cab this evening because we were going in the same direction (but it was just a cab of convenience, not the end of a date or anything).
Him: Where do you live?
Me: You know, over in that area.
Him: Do you have kids?
Me: No.
Him: So, it's just you by yourself?
Me: Uh....(Aggie thinking what to say here. Could say "no, I have my cat", but that sounds so sad. I could say I have 5 cats, then he'd think I was one of those women. I could say something about my waiter fetish....But no, then, he'll think I'm trying to seduce him, which I am not. He appears to be a drunk family man - perhaps divorced - on his way home)....That's right.
Him: Oh. Well, that can be relaxing.
Me: Yes, it can.

Its introspective conversations like this that should make us all disregard fear based rationales instructing us NOT to get into cabs with anonymous drunk men! Let this be a lesson to the rest of you!!! :)
Agatha, I'm concerned about your increased silence here.
Here you have a (for once) thoughtful and wise comment from Bob.
Meanwhile over on Tap My Glass, he has posted a video of kittens scrapping it out that should have a viewer discretion scenes of violence warning.
And you've had nothing to say?
Is it the seasonal affective disorder?
I am a bit out of sorts these days, but Bob's video did cheer me up. Perhaps we need to put it up on our ESI Cam.
