The Heart Turned Sideways Is An Arrow

For Valentine's Day, a pair of lovely visitors from the Bay Area. A clutch distraction from such things as heart-shaped balloons.

Like Leonard says, "Let's not talk of love and chains and things we can't untie."

And so Tricia and Cairo swooped in just as I was devising an escapist's strategy to the Feb 14 holiday. They bought me flowers. They drank morning tea at my kitchen table, making the whole scene look decidedly cute. They surveyed waterfalls and caught sweeping wilderness views with me. They joined me for tacos. They drove when I'd drank too much.

The sun was out the entire time and the dog was happier than he'd been in weeks. Truth: Spring is coming, and rad functional couples like T and C really do exist. Ain't life grand?!

  

Tippy tops.
