Enigma

"Enigma (eh-NIG-muh) noun
Something that's almost impossible to understand or explain; usually refers to a mysterious person."

Tonight I'm having dinner with old friends, one of which is visiting due to a brief dental-school hiatus. Fritz has tooth friends. It was only a matter of time. They discuss molars and bicuspids and chew sugarfree gum. (I speculate.) We gulp diet soda from the can and munch on Bubblicious. Has she moved beyond us? Have the tooth friends replaced us? I doubt it. Fritz has just always been better at dictating oral hygiene than responding to mass emails or picking up the telephone. But by accident or by design, Fritz has morphed into a bit of an enigma in the eyes of our Milwaukee chums — as Churchill said of Russia, she is "a riddle, wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma." Can one friendly, "we have to catch up!" dinner at UNOs Chicago Grill crack the riddle that is Fritz? Can we solve the mystery? Explain the enigma? Let's find out.
