I was in my late 20’s/early 30’s in the 1970’s. If you had asked me this question 20 years ago I would probably have spoken of various political crap and a wrecked marriage. But that’s all gone now.

Now I remember a strikingly beautiful girl in a black, Mexican, outfit, complete with boots and hat, in a disco called _Flanigan’s_. I remember my first dance with her:

_Do it right  
Take me through the night  
Shadow dancin’…_

A three-day weekend and we went our separate ways, but she showed me that there was hope for the future. Thanks, Lisa.
