April 26, 1990: Boring Phone Conversation



Thirty years ago today

The classified ad that I'd placed in the personals of Now Magazine came out that day and not long after I got home from work the phone rang. She told me her name was Michelle and that she was from Venezuela, half black and half Indigenous, twenty eight years old, 173 cm tall and that she runs a fragrance business.
We arranged to meet for a drink and then dinner at the Underground Railroad.
We talked on the phone a long time with a few spaces of silence between questions. It was a pretty boring conversation.
Later a woman from Jamaica called and though we didn't arrange to meet she said she would call me back.
