Venus
Yesterday at Venus, L and I were talking about her weekend – her husband’s 5 year old nephew drowned in a lake they frequent. She said the mother was in the car with their 8 day old baby nursing her when the father came running that he couldn’t find him. The horror. Then I was seeing M and she and I were talking about past relationships. She was married to a man who kidnapped her children and took them to Pakistan and thankfully she got them back. She said with her current husband, who she says looks just like George Clooney, that she is happy all the time. I was telling her about some things that have been on my mind lately and she said in her adorable Spanish accent, “marriage is like the levees Rachel, you have to look where they’re weak and fix it, so no water comes in.”
At one point M who does my hair, L the best waxer in the world, M who does my pedicure and G were all in the room, speaking in Spanish about the fact that the man who beat the woman to death in Lafrenier Park is suspected to be Hispanic – this was almost as horrible as the woman being beaten to death.
