Once upon a time, a man moved from Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, to Los Angeles, the city of every man for himself. Elliott is a doctor; he's attractive, well-educated, and a gifted conversationalist. He met Julie through JDate, the leading network for Jewish singles on the web. They went on several dates and soon Elliott was regularly spending the night at her place. He liked Julie. They were getting close and Elliott was imagining a bright future.

Lisa, Bianca, Claire and I are at BondSt at the Thompson Beverly Hills for drinks on a Tuesday night—which according to my cab driver is the new Standard Downtown, which is the new Roos. I don't know about that, but Lisa is on the prowl. She's a firm believer in refreshing her catalog of lovers every time she changes her wardrobe and it's starting to get chilly in Los Angeles.
