It had been a high-stress day,...

It had been a high-stress day, and I needed some "stress-relief", in one form or another. So I figured it was a good time for my first Block trip in several months.

The Flamingo has been good to me in the recent past, so I found myself, after dealing with horrendous traffic and nonexistent parking, heading down those stairs first. I picked a stool near the back and checked out the talent for a while. The usual range... several plumpers, one the size and shape of a boxcar...wow. One very slim one interested me, but when she stopped by she proved to be totally out of it, so I passed. Another one was very attractive, but her approach came off as too professional....I've had enough experiences with Blockettes like this to know that their goal is to extract maximum dollars for minimum reward. So I passed. Probably a mistake, as it turned out.

The third was young and soft and attractive...I was definitely interested, but I told her to check back...it was still early, and I hadn't every available option.
