One more wee trip out of town, and then I’m done. I’m heading to Baton Rouge this morning for a meeting, then on to Lafayette to retrieve the boyfriend from the airport (he’s been away for almost two weeks). Then finally home, all of us: Jonno, me, cat, dogs, everyone.
And on the subject of boyfriends: I was listening to NPR the other day, and Joan Didion was on, and I’ve never been a big fan of hers, but she had the best quote about love. She was talking about true love and long-term relationships, and I can’t remember the quote exactly, but basically she said that the fundamental characteristic of long-term, profound relationships is the constant need to share things with your partner. And I dunno about you, but in my experience, that’s pretty accurate: I see this or read that, and the next thing I know, I’m screaming out, “Hey, Jonno, getta loada this!” I don’t know why that is, but it is…. So, um, rack one up for Joan, I guess.
