Phone conversation with Allison tonight. Friends of ours got married on the Cape this weekend, and I’d already talked to Eric, who’d officiated the ceremony as a temporary
justice of the peace, about the wedding. But when girls talk about
bridal gowns, they need more and different adjectives than engineers
like Eric like to give. (Although, Eric did have a short description of
the gown, when I’d been expecting him to say “it was a dress”). Allison
is one of my UMass crowd, but now she and her husband live in Texas, so they combined the trip to the wedding with a Mass vacation.

Allison: … and then we went to Provincetown.

Meg: Did you go to all the bookstores?

Allison: And all the sex shops.

Meg: We have different priorities.

Allison: I said “and”!
