On Red Line from Shady Grove around 9am this morning (June 18) - gorgeous young man wearing headphones and navy bball cap backwards with Redskins logo. No wedding ring...Brown eyes, brown hair, sultry look - you have restored my faith in attractive men in the DC area. Wish I'd had the nerve to talk. Send picture if you're interested in a new female friend. Dreaming of you...
