Not a mis-reading, a mis-hearing. A sunny Spring day in NYC , and I decided to walk cross town and up town to an appointment in the mid-50′s between 5th and 6th. Walking up 5th, I noticed a woman about my age, not beautiful, but very well-groomed, just finished at the beauty salon, a classic blue suit, all put together. I was aware that she was walking close-by and as I was crossing 52nd Street, she tapped me on the shoulder and said, “I’m looking for sex.” I’m not now sure what I answered, but I remember being anything but cool. I walked on quickly and in the next block, I realized that I had been questioned by a Brit looking for Saks Fifth Avenue.
