Productive Saturday
Today has been a good day. Stephanie took the boys out so that I could have some time to myself. I got some laundry done. I took a shower. I listened to my vinyl of Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. I listened to my 18 minute subliminal concentration program. My daily habits are done except…

Stay
Why do I want her to stay? Stephanie says we are divorced and that the marriage we had is not worth fighting for. She asked me why I want her to stay. There are certainly selfish reasons. I appreciate her womanhood, but that’s objectifying. I appreciate her familiarity but that has been dying of late.…
