I needed a good belt for my pants. Loretta was going to Macy’s and asked if I wanted to come along. Since I don’t drive anymore (too old) I jumped at the chance. I was going to wait for her by the front door (the men’s department) so I looked at their selection of belts. I bought one.
The best part of that purchase was I earned a compliment from Loretta. I’m an old man, starved for a little praise, and she said, after she looked at it, “It’s what I’d expect from a man from Manhasset.” Wow! She had me enslaved! But I know my weaknesses.
