Monogamy requires an extreme amount of energy for a very limited result, i.e. maintaining the relationship's status quo; as the years rub the patina of excitement off everybody's marriage, is introducing some variety, or even just desiring it, pernicious to one's commitment to their spouse? I found out, and the journey does not stop here.
I would say that until a few months ago my body performed better than when it was younger.

To give her a Friday off. I shan't have a Friday off, of course, but I'll have great material for a new post... more…

Then all grows to be impossibly romantic and the longing stretches across the miles and across time. I must admit that I am in a funny mood tonight, and may find 'situations' rather amusing, for some reason. I'll probably change my mind tomorrow. more…
