PROLOGUE Some remarkable karma has led me to draw a very happy marriage. In my heart of hearts I ve always believed that this has happened not because I had smarts, but because I lucked out and found a sweet man who instinctively knew how to gentle me and the children when, left to our own devices, we d rip out each other s throats. He s darling and funny and wise, and he says, \"You re more beautiful than ever before, and you do not have neck sag\" ten times a day. Sure, he can be astonishingly, Mr. Magoo-ishly forgetful and dazzlingly sloppy, but when a man values you, who cares if you trip over his shoes? Together we are Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, the Wright Brothers, Damon and Pythias, best friends, indestructible. We can t stop touching each other. It s been over thirty years. Our kids, all grown now, certainly like him best. Who could blame them? He never gives anyone grief. I like him best, too. So, until recently, I really thought he was the formula for our perfect marriage. I mean, I m not exactly chopped liver, but he s a very nice person. But, you know what? It takes two. I ve come to understand that I also have something to do with the :L?:
