He had taken Antoine’s advice on how to solve his personal New York City parking crisis. He made an anonymous call to the city parking violations bureau. Looking around, he saw that the old junkers his landlord seemed to collect were no longer taking up all the available parking around the building. They were all gone, probably towed by the city. He was sure he was not the only tenant who would be happy. This parking solution was like a bonus at the end of an already wonderful day. Shutting off the car’s engine, he closed his eyes and replayed the day’s events. He had been nervous for his date with Alicia, unlike their previous eight. After two months together Alicia had decided it was time for him to meet her son, Michael, and Kevin was not quite sure he was ready. Fortunately his worry had been unnecessary. Michael was a nice, respectful kid and they had gotten along well. The three of them went to church, then went to see Wild Wild West, the adventure movie starring Will Smith.
