I mostly shop on line now, but when I was a young man in NYC I loved to hit the stores. The Manhattan shops were an adventure in seasonal warmth and beauty. I used to go door to door, straining my wAllet and delighting in matching potential gifts to friends and family. I especially liked to shop for my dear Aunt Mary who showed me all the love of a mother. And there was the young girl who knocked me senseless. She was the first true love of my life, and I still remember the taste of her mouth. Youth is not just for the young!
Wow, I hear the beginnings of two fantastic memoirs. The stores in NYC at Christmas is a perfect backdrop. I've never seen stores quite like that all dressed up for the holidays.
The other memoir I can't wait to read is about the girl who knocked you senseless. Everyone loves a good love story, especially a true one. I can't wait to read that one!
