Dear Diary,

What is up with my crushes on older women? From famous celebrities/actresses like perrenial girl next door Meg Ryan (1961) and UN Goodwill Ambassador Julia Ormond (1965) to teachers and friends like — well, you don’t really expect me to spill the beans to a diary that lacks even the most rudimentary lock, do you?

Do you think it’s just a phase, oh wise Diary? Like punk/goth looks or turning sympathetic eyes towards Hawaiian t-shirts and flared out jeans, will this fad disappear into the depths of the attic, only to resurface decades later in dusty boxes marked ‘Yearbooks’?

It’s simply not healthy, dear Diary. First thing tomorrow, I’m hitting the malls and whistling at some 18-20 year old bleached blonde with the low-rise jeans, dangly earrings, Gap tank top, and of course, yellow flashy thong.

Ever Yours,
Phil
