Mexico/Swanlake Cute Meet

[Henry M]

Hollywood cute meets weren't complicated, and neither is this one. (I once
described the first time that I met a girlfriend who knows GR to her as
having been a cute meet, but she always objected to my use of the word
"cute" in describing her. It didn't last. “Short but sweet,” Magda sighs.
“Fabelhaft, was?”


Yours truly,
