Overheard
T:  They love me here.  Don't you think they love me?  Don't you think they would rather look at me than all these basketball players?
G:  Yes, definitely.  Honey,  I really don't want to eat nachos.  They are gross.
T:  I think most people have forgotten what happened.  Don't you, Giselle?  You're not still thinking about it, are you?
G:  About what, darling?  The Super Bowl loss?
T:  OOOOh, can you keep your voice down, please?
G:  I don't want popcorn either.  I get little pieces of it in my teeth.  My teeth are expensive, darling.
T:  Well, if we come to this game against Detroit, we won't have to come to any potential championship game.  They'll never win anyway.
T:  You don't think people are talking about it here, do you?
G:  About what, darling?  My dress?  Whether I will fall?
T:  No.  About you know.
G:  This is New York, sweetie.  They are happy you lost.
T:  OUCH, that's harsh, Giselle.  "Lost" is a cruel word.
G:  Well, what would you call it, my sweet?  You are the only, how do you say, weak link in the perfect storm in Boston?
T:  Perfect season, not perfect storm.  And it was almost a perfect season.   And we shouldn't have lost.  
G:  No one is saying it was your fault, lover.  It is just that all the other teams were winners.  Please I don't want to eat onion rings.
G:  My feet are killing me, darling.  Can you go a little slower?
T:  Do you think these people are thinking about it?
G:  Oh my darling, I think we should stay home.  But I don't like the cooking shows.  Okay?
Another precious June day, dear reader.  Enjoy.
A bientot
love,b
