This is the South Fourth Bar in Williamsburgh Brooklyn, right across the street from Mose, Karl, and Christine’s old apartment on Berry Street. You remember the horrifying anti-smoking mural? That building.

Nearly ten years later, the neighborhood is different- and we sure are different- all three of my hosts are newlywed. Mose is in Texas, Karl in Winnipeg, Christine is still in Brooklyn and expecting her first child.

I like this growing up although I do wish my friends were not quite so widely dispersed. Especially as they start families – I fantasize of a Sesame Street city where we all live and look after each other together. Hearing about my friend Claire’s son over the phone (in Chicago), I wish I could be a more regular kind of auntie, visiting on Sundays. Ah well. Christmas Greetings to all my old friends and their new loved ones!
