J’adore Paris
From the Pont des Arts.
Forget the padlocks on bridges and the Eiffel Tower. It’s all about the wine. Trust me on this.

Kitchen Slattern 
I’m trying to imagine you sitting on that feces-stained dock, drinking your wine, worrying about the French bird crap (not crepe) seeping into the backs of your oh-so-fashionable skinny, black, cropped pants, that, incidentally, make you look like a twig.Ten days in Paris and I get photos of a shitty dock. Literally. Mon dieu! When do I get to see those friggin’ locks? The Eiffel Tower? The Arc de Triomphe? The Mona Lisa? Notre Dame? No charming close up of your croissant, cafe au lait and the salt shakers?
That’s it. I’m going to have to insist that you bring me along next time so that someone can properly document your time in Paris. Let me know when our flight is booked. First class, of course.
Did Mr. Slattern take this after you had the two bottles of champagne and fell face first into the water?
I did not fall, I waded.
…yes, that’s what I usually tell people, too.
WENDIE, WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU??
Right here in San Fran. So busy with MFA studies that I have had to lock the Slattern in a closet for a while. When are you coming south, Suzy?
MFA studies???!! In what?
We finally settled down and bought a house in Seattle, so are not going down south anytime soon, but will do so after the new year. You sure you won’t be too immersed in your scholarly pursuits to knock down a few at ye olde watering hole?
I may be up your way to see my sister at some point, but have no idea when. And I am NEVER too busy for “just the one.” But you know that Susan.
Send me your email. My sister lives in Seattle and I may go up this year. Let’s take this conversation offline, as we used to say when I had a job and an identity.
MFA in creative writing of course.
For real? My relationship with you is becoming a series of spiritual opportunities to overcome envy.
Aw shucks, Peach. I guess this means I’m getting the first TWO rounds.
