Getting Frazzled With Katy

I first met her when I was only fifty-one. I was in the movie theater carrying a coloring book when she blundered in. She was wearing an olive green gunny sack, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated her mouth, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the coloring book down when she sprinted beside me. I guess she startled me, and I clumsily dropped the coloring book right by her feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to get frazzled.

After stumbling apologies, I asked her to go to the office supply store for a gin and tonic. She accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the office supply store, I learned that her name was Katy, and that she was a singer. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a surveyor.

I guess it was love at first get frazzled. Some might say we had tickets in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. She was nine years older than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still getting frazzled for each other.
