As I was checking out of the hotel, I realized that I’d forgotten to leave a tip for housekeeping. I mentioned this to the young lady who was handling the bill and she gave me an envelope to leave the tip and she’d pass it on to the folks who could get the tip to the housekeeper.

She said that it was very sweet that I thought to do that. She also mentioned that she liked the shirt that I was wearing that day and also the shirt that I wore day before. (I’d been wearing t-shirts that had funny/pop-culturey/geeky graphics on them.) That was when I realized that I had spoken with her before.

I noticed that she was an attractive little thing and that she had a very pleasant French accent. I thought to myself “If I wasn’t married and I was maybe twenty years younger, I could’ve asked out her mother.”

Maybe Pam’s been away too long.
