Salad for Breakfast: From a tribal elder →
These days, my artist ex-husband, now a good friend, may come in off my elevator unannounced to crash for the night while I’m trying to watch a romantic movie on the couch with my current lover and the Argentinean supermodel types away on his computer in the kitchen, and then later all three men…
