Lunch in Westboro...

[fajrdrako]

From time to time I like to have lunch with Jacques, one of those friends who dates from High School. Last time we lunched I was somewhat annoyed with him for misogynist talk, brought on by some nasty behaviour on the part of his sister-in-law, who is probably his ex-sister-in-law by now. I didn't ask. That awkward conversation made me avoid seeing him for a while.

Today, we had lunch together on the patio at the Westboro Bridgehead, and it was lovely. We taked about politics, Tv shows old and new, and many other things, and for a while we talked in French. That part was terrific, because I could understand everything he said, and he told me about some French-Canadian soap operas and comedies to look for.

Couldn't have been nicer. The Bridgehead salad was lovely too; not a kind I've seen at the Bank and Third branch. But then, I haven't been looking.

He has a gorgeous new car, too: a blue 2012 Honda Civic. Cars seldom impress me, but this one did.
