But meanwhile my Margarita is roaming through my mind, and the cat, and flying
Have a short interview with me at Stone Telling! I talk about my poem "A Bulgakov Headache" and the reasons I will never make coffee syrup in my kitchen again.
Yesterday we took my parents to the Museum of Modern Renaissance for Somerville Open Studios and got an unexpected concert: a woman with a guitar, singing in Russian. I couldn't tell if they were her own songs or not. One was a poem by Yevtushenko. Her voice had the '60's folk vibrato I associate with Joan Baez and Judy Collins. The sun clouded and brightened through the windows, making green and lavender patches on the polished floor. That hall still contains one of the best mermaids I've seen painted.
Today is mostly work, although in the evening
derspatchel and I have reservations at Tryst, because we've been married for five months and we can do that.

Thank you!
(I am trying to decide if the pork confit taco is worth having to drink the margarita. I love mezcal. Tequila is not congenial to me. Also, if I could live with myself after ordering anything called a Habanero Lime Rita. It's like an appletini. No.)

There is a restaurant out here in Leominster called (tellingly enough) Mezcal that has some really good mezcal-based cocktails. We went for a pre-Cinco dinner and had a pitcher of their "smoky margaritas," which are made with mezcal.

Nice! Saloon used to have a mezcal-based cocktail called the Smoke Stack (there was burning rosemary involved) that I ordered every time we went. When they took it off the menu, I was sad.
