It was an impromptu visit, and I lit a candle because the joint smelled like cigs. A new work friend brought you over to say hi? You were SUPER tall and wearing the coolest glasses I’d ever seen. You seemed nervous and fidgety and I was still waking up. Your eyes were stunning once I got past the glasses. Maybe we could be friends? The Gallery Cabaret is across the street from me and I’m there every Thursday. Perhaps you’ll join me for a beer?
Lynn: Bird cooks her ass off. We eat anything that tastes good. Kale has no special place in our hearts unless it’s free.
Is there mutual interest in each other’s profession or is work typically left at work?
Lynn: Katy can be a bit of a slowpoke. I, on the other hand, am a bit of a spaz. Slowing down can actually be a good thing . . . sigh.
