The boffins on the Weather Channel make me sick. One of them said this morning (breathlessly) “When have you ever seen a President respond this quickly to a disaster?”

It sure is. But it isn’t about infatuation or emotion. It’s about enduring, sustaining love.

Really? If she gets the “best” of his love, who is getting the rest of it? ;-)

I don’t suppose you watch “Veep” on HBO. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the VP and it’s a quite funny show. Last night she was hate-flirting with her ex while they were all celebrating their daughter’s 21st birthday. All while smiling constantly so that no one would get a photo of her looking “angry.”
It was quite awkward for the daughter, with her parents talking about how good their sex was.

My spouse is a true romantic and reminds me of it often, how he is more so than me.
This is the ringtone he has for me on his phone. I think that is one of the best love songs.
