We shrug, indulging the romantic utopias of the young
  ~ recalling vaguely, we too needed our elders to go along

Hi Gershon, That is so true. It caused me to think of“ There’s nothing knew under the sun”. I enjoyed the read. Have a good evening:-) Alexis

So true! Funny fact my daughter in law brought along an escort the first time she dated my son in Guam.

Was he/she elderly?! lol... And now I recall that at Dartmouth College my freshman year (1968-69) there actually were chaperones on dates with young ladies from the 'Seven Sisters' schools. (Dartmouth went co-ed in 1973. There were no gals for a good 50 mile radius.). ~ Neanderthal Man
