Practicing Italian
I went to the Gay center's Italian Serata this evening, as I had done a few times years ago. One of my very WASPy friends is in love with the language and trying to learn it better. Afterward I broke my own rule about not buying junk food and I went into McD's which was right by the Center and this black woman who reminds me of my ex-wife who is lesbian and speaks Italian beautifully came up to me and spoke over my shoulder as she recognized me from the Italian meeting. We had some junk food together and exchanged emails. She was astonished at some of my stories about my ex-wife and daughter and our trips to Italy, not to mention my cousin's suicide in Catanzaro last year. She admitted she was a "cattiva" girl when she had visited Italy without her lover of 10 years in the past, but now they live together as roommates and she is going back a few times a year. A very interesting lady and I like making female friends. I sometimes regret I don't have more.
