I once loved Bob (for real), too, Sarah Elkins, but it just didn’t work out. That said, he’s often in my thoughts, and I wrote this piece a couple of years ago (before the final break). He was and likely still is a terrific odd duck, and charming beyond belief. And he showed me his ways that over time I accepted and integrated into my own self.

I’m guessing you, Lisa Gallagher, and I all talk to others all the time, even only to admire a cute baby, or laugh at standing in front of a display case unable to make up our mind. White or brown eggs? This bottle or that? And I especially talk with others who are roughly my own age, because there’s so much we can relate to in the same way!

Bless you both for your continued support of my articles wherever they get posted!
