My Dearest Rochester,
I know I have not always been faithful. I left you briefly
for Buffalo. But please know that she cannot ever compete with you my darling.
Sure, her chicken wings were scrumptious. But she doesn’t have your garbage
plate. I must also confess that I had a fleeting fling with Oswego. And
although you can be cold for about 9 months of the year, she was downright
frigid. Please don’t take offense. I love all of your seasons, I do. But you
have to admit my dear, that on your sunny days, life is quite wonderful. I can
visit Lake Ontario and enjoy a chocolate almond ice cream at Abbotts. In the
fall there is hiking, apple picking and trick-or-treating. And even on your
coldest days, I know I can always enjoy gingerbread creations
at the George Eastman House, a movie at the Cinema, ice-skating at Manhattan
Square Park, or a cross-country ski in Highland Park. So my love, I hope you
will consider taking me back. I promise to be loyal, at least until mid-February,
and then I may need a temporary tryst with Florida.
All my love,
Trista
