Among the best things in life are naked (or nearly naked) beautiful women and cold beer. I love conversations with the ladies who have something intelligent to say. And they are not as rare as some guys think. I’m 55, heading for 56, but a few hours at a good club takes 25-30 years off my age. After the thrill of closeness (and depending on where you are, contact) with a beautiful dancer, the next best thing is good conversation. Bless those ladies who bring a little joy to my aging, mundane life.
