There were walls

August 12, 2008

One day, 15 feet apart? Melissa and I (in our old place) really couldn’t be much more than 20 feet apart. But it is true that you learn a lot about the relationship. There are a lot of people who live lives of extreme spousal proximity; now, maybe not like the couple in the yurt–that’s...
