The Super Bowl
I think tomorrow is the Super Bowl. There are headlines on the news websites I look at. I see little blurbs about “Tom Brady” and “Goodell” and Kansas City. I wouldn’t recognize Tom Brady if I bumped into him at the grocery store. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I could pick out

On Finding a Spouse
