Relationships

I just returned from a family reunion. It’s the most time we’ve spent together in 50 years and it was cathartic.

Have a listen to my interview with Dr. Bruce Chalmers and Judy Alexander on their podcast, Couples Therapy in Seven Words.

The self-checkout fairy seems to like her job working as a customer service associate at Kroger. Her job is to show us kindness. 

Both of us were previously married and we’ve each had the experience of caregiving the person we sleep with.

The night before we watched “The Case of the Grinning Gorilla,” a perfectly terrible Perry Mason episode about a chimpanzee hiding jewelry.

Love is a mirror. I witness myself, follow the ripples of me on his face. He is my muse. Ink on my brain. The mark on my heart.

Like a mail-order bride, I have learned to be his partner, we’ve made a home together and our collaboration is regenerative.
