I was walking in Chelsea last Thursday night on my way to an art opening when I overheard a man say to a woman, "That's because you don't know how to have fun. All the dogs you like are really boring and may as well be cats."
If she replied, I didn't hear her.
She did NOT say "meow, meow," although I wish she had...
Can you imagine breaking up with someone because you disagreed over the type of pet you wanted? I am sure it happens.
In this case, I do not think the man and woman were a couple, yet the slice of conversation I overheard was so funny. It was fraught with the kind of tension you can only share with someone you know very well.
This is from a conversation I had with my mom.
He and I never dated, but he did go out with a friend of mine. She wouldn't say much about their few dates, other than that they were going to be friends. He later told me he threw rocks at my window one of the times they were out. He seemed disappointed that I didn't respond.
The blue and white checked fabric is from an old quilt of mine that has disintegrated. I have been cutting the fabric away from the batting (the stuffing), washing it and incorporating it into my work.
"Fly on back home to me, my love."

"I contain ponds, rivers, floods. Swim in these waters with me and I will be home."
