Sexy or Scary?

The line, which is so fine to begin with, only blurs with age and an increasingly jaded outlook.

A few thoughts on Sexy or Scary...

Sexy: flirting with the powerplayers here in DC
Scary: one of them actually making a pass at you

Sexy: warm, sultry DC evenings
Scary: the stink that accompanies that heat

Sexy: watching a woman strutting down K Street in high heels and a short skirt
Scary: being that woman, trying to watch where you're stepping without looking down or tripping

Sexy: looking 25 when you're actually 36
Scary: acting 25 when you're actually 36

Sexy: first dates
Scary: first dates

Sexy: reminiscing about favorite 1980s fads
Scary: trying to explain them to co-workers/interns who were born in the 1980s

Sexy: dating younger men
Scary: why men your own age are single

Sexy: driving around viewing the monuments and memorials lit up at night
Scary: traffic on that same route during the day

Sexy: John Edwards
Scary: John Ashcroft
