This
is the way I remember this corner of a local strip mall. Subway never
does well in most of its locations, and whatever was next to Subway was
long gone before the Google Street View photo car came by. Now, these
two storefronts have been combined into a single outlet selling Nathan's
hot dogs, Arthur Treacher's seafood (as part of Nathan's) and Mister
Softee ice cream. When I signed up for a meetup at this place, I knew
not to expect anything of high quality - I'd have a slightly higher
range of food offerings than the local Mickey D's to choose from, and
forget just as fast.

Today, I decided to get up late and then watch some TV for a while. Around 4:00 pm, I decided to get showered and dressed to go to the meetup. While getting ready to shave my face before applying makeup, my rotary shaver's head unit wouldn't lock in place making it useless. Thankfully, I had another shaver in the carry-on I had on my recent cruise, so I shaved with that instead. (I'll receive a replacement head unit from Amazon tomorrow, so the travel shaver can go back in the carry-on.)
Around 5:00 pm, I drove to Yorktown and found DS waiting. We placed our orders as others attending the meetup came in. One woman who I met at another meetup struck up a conversation and I can tell that she was focusing a lot on what I had to say, and not with the others at our table, (If I were presenting as Mario, I'd assume she wanted me to ask her out due to the way she was touching me in animated conversation.) After we finished what passed for dinner, DS left early while the rest of us had some ice cream.
At 7:30 pm, the rest of us left the place, and I went to Walmart to pick up some makeup tools (brushes, powder, etc.) so that I can leave a second, full makeup kit at RQS's place. It'll be a while until I finish filling the kit. But once it's ready, I'll start making regular trips to RQS's place in Marian mode.
