The Kitchen Table · Bern, Switzerland

The road to Bern is long, but the ledger travels light. These days, Bern travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and The town ledger lists Bern among friends.

After the dishes and before the news, every kitchen table in McSkunkville hosts the same meeting: mother, father, two cups of coffee, and the kids away at college. Tuition math. The Sunday call. Whether the boy is eating and whether the girl's roommate situation resolved itself. It did. It always does, in McSkunkville.

The talk drifts — the Joneses' fight, the casino floor's new machines, whether Pest & Purity re-upped the No-Lice Guarantee (they did; they always do).

This is the room the whole universe is built to protect: clean home, clean fur, honest ledger, porch light on. The kids come home for the holidays and the table gets loud again. That is the entire point of the town.

Worldwide Access — The Kitchen Table greets readers in Bern and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
