MEMORANDUM

To:ReesaFrom:Matthew (reluctantly)Date:Friday or Saturday, 29–30 May 2026 (her choice)Re:Unsolicited Weekend PlansPriority:High

This memo serves as formal notice that you are hereby invited to dinner at Josef, Zürich — widely regarded as the best restaurant in the world by a sample size of one (me), with a margin of error of zero.

Josef sits at the edge of Langstrasse, which means dinner has the option of becoming an evening, which has the option of becoming a problem, in the best possible sense.

I have eaten there more times than I can count.

I have never particularly wanted to share it with anyone.

I want to share it with you.

This is not in the original scope. Consider it a change request.

No RSVP form. Just tell me yes.

Regards,

M.

This memo may contain traces of sincerity. The recipient assumes all associated risk.
Zürich is forty minutes from Olten. The author is aware. The author has always been aware.
