Lunch with Byron

Byron treated me to a wonderful lunch at Mongol's Mongolian BBQ.

After a long, intimate discussion of his past, his brother (Del Piero Stead), and the birds in his life, 2 girls of an unknown age walked into the 5 star restaurant. Byron, with his keen sense of smell, immediately looked toward the (automatic) sliding doors and was promptly aroused. Scared, the girls immediately looked towards him with frightened faces. As they came closer, it became apparent that they were likely in the 8th grade, maybe even the 9th grade due to their decent use of make up.

Nevertheless, Byron remained aroused, and tried to make eye contact with the girls who likely just got their braces off. As they passed, Byron looked towards me like he had just seen a wonderful piece of art. Eyes beaming, he gazed as them as they paid for their reasonably priced Mongolian BBQ.

"Nice ass huh?" Byron asked.

The girls were looking forward to getting their driver permits in a couple of years.

Byron was looking foward to taking them for a ride in a couple of hours.

As they walked by once again, they were discussing what Algebra classes they had to take in the next couple of years. Byron was merely trying to calculate what the odds are that their ages added up to his - which would satisfy the golden rule of algebra (17 + 17 = 34).

After a short discussion of the likely age of the girls, Byron left the establishment without talking to them. A couple hours later, Byron only pretends to work, wondering, what could have been.
