BODY WATCH : A Martini Moment

Martinis. Comes a rare Friday we’re not expected to attend anything, arrive anywhere. Work’s over. No one’s waiting for their dinner. Kids aren’t around. Husband feels as I do. Stirred, not shaken really does make a difference. Poured elegantly, on the stem. Wine is fine for social occasions, but I can risk a martini or two when no one’s expecting another thing from me. I revel in it.
