For a summer I dated a girl whose dad sold rugs in parking lots. If you lived in New England at that time you know the guys I'm talking about. There were a bunch of them, who all bought rugs from the same supplier and set up large displays.

The girl's dad set us up with our own rug display in a parking lot somewhere like an hour away. Every Friday he'd drive us out there and leave us until Sunday. We would set up the display in the morning, work all day and break down the display at night. We slept in the truck on top of the rolled up rugs.

I think that was one of the best summers of my life. In between customers I'd play my guitar. The money was great to an 18 year old, and only required 2 days of work. I'm very social and liked selling. And on top of it all, I got to spend all that time with someone I was crazy about.

Did the relationship last?

Not even into the fall, but it's probably for the best.
