"Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" - Billy Joel
We are going into the way-back machine for me here, because my most recent ex-girlfriend experience was late 1994-early 1995. She was two years younger than me, and I knew it would not last after I graduated, but that did not take away the sting at the time. I was still drinking back then, so I got over it rather quickly...
There was this family-owned Italian joint in her hometown that we would always hit when we visited her home. The name escapes me, but it was the first and last placeat which we ever dined in her hometown. On my last visit ther, Thanksgiving 1994, I told her that this song reminded me of us and that restaurant. Not exactly the song for a lasting relationship, eh? So it was nothing if not apropos. I knew it was dying. I should have euthanized then and there.
I could provide more details, all of which were true, but that would make me sound bitter.
