This is, by and large, a true story. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Frankly, I don’t remember if her first name was Carol, or if you prefer, Sarah. All I recall was that her last name was Livingstone. I believe when I first wrote this article, years ago, I used Sarah because I thought it sounded more “blue blood.” I used Carol (I forgot to change “Sarah” to “Carol” in the last couple paragraphs) because it sounded more Christmas-like. “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Then there was the time that I got involved with computerized dating (that also occurred when I was teaching on Long Island) only to find out that my date was a “cross-dresser”: “The Her Who Was A He”
