From a recent outgoing email:
I'm familiar with Time Traveler's Wife. Read it on the way to Slovakia last February. It's pretty great. I think I'll re-read it soon. Since I may have some reading time. It's interesting to think about having a spouse that involuntarily leaves every so often. Obviously that's better than having a spouse leave voluntarily. Which my mom did, a couple of times. I guess this week has stirred up some of that stuff. Marriage stuff. Been surrounded by it--N's long distance girlfriend is visiting this weekend and week. So at lunch yesterday the first thing one of our marriage-obsessed friends says is, "When's the date?"
I have to get back to that place where the blessings of other people don't curse me.
