Sure, in retrospect I can now see that I was way too young and definitely too immature to handle married life. At the time, I thought I knew everything.One of the most glaring and truly positive things that marriage has meant in my life is that had I not settled down, I probably would have been dead from AIDS or some other STD by now. I was drilling anything in a skirt, as the saying goes, a true hit-and-run artist. I couldn’t have kept track with notches on the bedpost, because it would have been reduced to sawdust. Being faithful in marriage was already ingrained in me as a principle, so when I said, “I do” to her, it also meant “I don’t” to all others.~ less

My wife seems to think that when I’m watching television or listening to the radio that I keep the volume much too high, which causes her to have to raise her voice in order to be heard over the program. I contend that when she knows I’m trying to hear a program and she starts talking over the dialogue, that’s what causes me to raise the volume. If I were not trying to hear a program, it would be quite a different thing, and we do talk with each other on those occasions.She often seems to have no inkling whatsoever that the precise reason the program is on is that I am following what’s being said.When the situation is reversed and she is the one watching a show, her way of listening and following dialogue differs so greatly than mine in that she doesn’t focus on nor care about each word that’s being said.It sometimes boils down to, “Why is the volume so loud?”“Because I’m trying to hear it.””But I’m talking to you.”... less

But Donald Trump is still coursing through our veins, isn't he?All the signatures of Trump intoxication - the rush of indignation, the paranoid agitation, the hallucinatory blur of endless news cycles - are still powerfully in effect in American public life.It is one last surprise that he is managing to tighten his grip on the consciousnesses of those who loathe him, no less than his supporters, even as he is about to become just another former president. less
