10,248. SENOR LOPEZ

SENOR LOPEZ
With that precious daughter of his he's an okay guy.
He runs this fine, fabled restaurant that packs in the
crowds. People gleefully eat his Mirandas and sit
by their tables and the red, checkered cloths. An
old bullfighter poster adorns the walls, in fact, a
series of four. I remember seeing these when I was
twelve years old  -  my foreign uncle read Paris
Match, an old magazine  -  sidewalk cafes, photos
of Vespas and tourists. Fine-looking people at
founyains and bars. It was then that I first learned
that 'Vespa' meant 'Wasp.' How cool was that.
