Amidst talk of senate races, great speakers of the twentieth century and overexerted work-outs, I am served peach melba by an architect with silver stars in her earlobes. She has made the caramel sauce herself. She tells me the recipe (1 cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup cream and sea salt to taste). It is good.
She says that she likes my resolution. I tell her that hers is the most popular middle name so far. Her boyfriend, who has skipped his water-polo practice to be there, wants to know if I will write about her peach melba. I tell him I probably will.
