“I said I’d always wanted that kind of relationship and now I did. We did. I told her I left an otherwise good relationship because it didn’t support writing. She said I was a shit, and that she left a marriage without leaving a note.”

Oh, Tod I’m so sorry. Sounds like a delicious friendship. Better to have a short glorious ride with an empathic friend than a long slogs with many others.

I hope you write more about the friendship. I also hope you read( if you haven’t already) D. Hall’s “Essays After Eighty.” One of my favorite books.

GS: Bravo on the opera & I loved eavesdropping on the joy and tears you and your wife shared over what you heard. 💞💞

He wrote it after Jane’s death. It’s a marvelous processing of grief💙🌷

It's divine. It made me laugh, cry & taught me a lesson my therapist missed. I simply adore that man. I even wrote a poem titled "Comic" with starring him. If I get it published I'll make a note here💞
