I was SICK of pursuing them. It never works. Well, as we all know, 5 minutes later, man from Iran appears and says, &#8220;I want to pursue you. I would like to take you out as soon as possible.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Amusing. Well, in the days since then, 2 ex-flames have called me out of the clear blue sky saying, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m in New York for a couple of days &#8230; let&#8217;s get together!&#8221; These are men I have no contact with in my normal every-day life, not that the relationships ended badly, or anything. It&#8217;s just they are from my far past. It&#8217;s over and done. But boom, boom &#8230; I got two calls. So now, in one damn week: I have a date with Iranian man, a date with old flame #1, and a get-together-with-drinks date with old flame #2. <\/p>\n<p>Actually, I was on the phone with one of them, and one of the other three buzzed in. The entire thing is ludicrous, I take none of it seriously, and I am laughing at my own life. <\/p>\n<p>I better watch what I say from now on! <\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m having a lot of fun, and having a lot of personal-drama, as the terror-warnings keep pouring in, and the colors continue to hover between red and orange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s so much happening in the world, and New Yorkers are on edge, with all of those red terror warnings, orange terror warnings.
