Bitter

It was our anniversary. We hired a sitter. Went to dinner. Had sex. It was like she wasn’t there, as if she was worried about missing her favorite show on TV. I would bet sex with a total stranger would have been more intimate. Maybe we’ve been married too long, pehaps we’ve bucked the trends too much. Will we get another one?

Sweet

My baby took her first steps today.
