Holden Goes on a Date          Ring! Ring! The goddam alarm clock woke me up again. I was having a madman dream and all, when the alarm clock woke me up. I had this dream that me and old Jane were dancing together. We danced for five numbers then we sat down to have something to drink. Boy, she was a good dancer. She used to do ballet when we were kids. She could dance better than anyone I ever saw. Anyway, after we danced, we started shooting the bull. When she was talking, I started giving her the eye. After a while, we started necking. She was a terrific kisser. You could tell she was great because when she kissed she was really into it. She wasn't like all those phony kissers where they just open their mouth. Once, I was with this girl who was the worst kisser ever. We would be necking, and she would be all tense and nervous. Anyway, Jane and I were really hitting it off. I was about to give her the time when the goddam alarm clock woke me up.    When I finally got out of bed, I decided to give Jane a buzz. I arranged to have a bite with her at this Italian place down the street from her. I was getting really excited to see Jane for the first time since we were kids. I used to see her almost everyday. We used to play checkers a lot. One thing I have always remembered was she never would move out her kings. When she got a king she would leave it in the back row. I got out of bed, got dressed and walked outside.    I decided to take a taxi to the restaurant because it was crumby outside. The taxi driver was the worst taxi driver ever. I told him to take me to the Italian restaurant that I was going to. He said he never heard of it. What kind of taxi driver doesn't know how to get somewhere? Isn't it his job? So anyways, I tried to tell him how to get there, but he didn't understand English well. I started to get really frustrated.
