WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Mostly sunny, cloudy later. Highs in the mid 60’s.
Sheesh – another formal, and I only have one suit.
Tonight: Fair skies. Low around 45.
Say, that dress I wore for Sager was pretty nice…
Tomorrow: Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 60’s.
I wonder if my girlfriend’ll let me borrow it again (sans pantyhose this
time – too weird).
