beside's richard's tectonic plates (such a brilliant, banger of a metaphor!), i delighted in this line: "When he is the one who is worse, there is always the up side it isn’t me." i'm packing for NY and can't wait to see you both soon!
Love this Laurie -"they can be dressed in silk and they will throw back their heads and lick their lips for crumbs and grease."...for all the same reasons I adore Virginia Wolf. An epic line to be proud of, to hang on the fridge. Hee hee
I live a few miles off the Taconic, and I know those stone walls. I always slow down to a crawl and annoy the other drivers, but that feeling of being squeezed in the worst. If I'm a passenger, I assume the crash position as we approach. Road fights - we've had our share. Thanks for a great post!
~ resentment ~ love. I feel this is a bit like the poison is the cure but not quite. Thanks for the heart/brain teaser~ my 12959483 personal ones needed company. 😆

Ah, fights on the road. Classic.
I love that one! We are all the last of our kind.
Is it better to be alone with our mistakes? Do we have a choice? :-)

I love the piece about Richard. Yes, relationships are like that. And it surprises us to see all the tectonic plates crashing together!
Beautiful writing, love the candor and natural history of turtles.
Very relatable husband story. Debating whether or not to share with mine :), also the one who all my friends love even more than they love me…
Beautiful essays ... both. Read them waiting to board a flight to New Mexico. It felt like it was meant to be.
The sentence re: love
