(Here’s why I am absolutely sure that people
are nearly always amazing. Every once in a while Someone Isn’t.
The overexplainer. The person who Knows the Truth. Mostly though
they are.)
At last night’s dinner, our first inside a restaurant
we walked in the door and I felt odd and
Maybe Not but walked in anyway. We were the only guests.
At last night’s dinner all of us good friends, the kind of friends
who are family, the owner, happily talkative talented chef,
came to sit with us because we were the only guests and
because she loves to talk and it didn’t take much for her to
tell us that she loves fish in all its forms so it didn’t surprise
her that she fell hard for a fish monger a few years ago
he has is own boat fishes 3 hours a way
calls himself a purveyor she said but that
didn’t deter her from her loving him. Problems she said.
His kids are grown and hers are young and he says
He Can’t Through That Again but can you believe it
she explained. We even like the same Fish Jokes.
