Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/11: b.i.a. 50
We moved Chris' stuff out of his apartment by 10:30 this morning, and then we began the trip home. We drove through the Winnebago reservation one final time, and we took a leisurely detour from a direct route by going on Bureau of Indian Affairs 50, a winding dirt road. Chris said he'd only been on it once before--the snowy winter and wet spring made it not-so-passable at other times. But today was dry so we gave it a go. And it was beautiful: spring trees, spring birds, spring air. I'm grateful that Chris shared it with me.

ReplyDelete... playing games in a castle-tent in our sitting room... so different from what I had been going through days ago...
ReplyDeletePS: I am happy for you and Chris being able to spend more time together now.
Oh, Meri, I'm glad for your game-playing! And thanks for your good words--it feels good for Chris & me to be in the same place again.
ReplyDeleteAnd it sounds like Elaine had some happy time with a loved one today, too, so yay for all of us!
