Out and About

[1]

Yesterday, I was speaking on the phone to a married friend with whom I hadn’t connected in a long time. After catching up on the essentials, he asked, “how’s your social life?” The question caught me off guard. Is he asking me if I’m dating anyone and short of that, does it mean my social life’s a bust. After a long pause, I said: “… uh, it’s great!”
