fish

deery-lou.
previously on the e-list…

here's a mini-conversation i had with two students after noticing them standing in the hallway & sensing that they wanted to ask me something but were too shy:

me: can i help you?
[places hand over mouth and starts giggling]
student: is castro dangerous?
me: dangerous? not at all. it is the gay neighborhood, though.
[the girls are still giggling & one of them is hiding behind the door]
me: i used to live in that area and i think it's pretty safe. what are you looking to do there: dinner, a club, meet people?
[the girls are still giggling, mostly due to be embarrassed.]
student: see gays!
me: like at the zoo...

i talked to them a bit longer trying to convince them that it was safe to go there. you knows why they thought it was dangerous. oh, sweet, sweet petals. not sure if they actually went. the one girl is in my class so i'll ask her on monday. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.

stay gold & be well…

As long as you keep the gays well fed, they aren't dangerous.
