marriage

Being married is like being insane: the scope of your life increases by 100% and you have NO CONTROL over that new territory. Seriously, it's like, What's my left hand doin'? I don't know!


Note: this musing was inspired by laundry day.

ECON 101

The other day it was raining.  I stood waiiting for the bus, getting wet because my rain jacket is "water-resistant," not "water-proof."  On the bus, a couple of older black women had cut open old plastic groocery bags and made bonnets out of them.  I paid like $75.  They paid nothing.  Who was dryer?
