Not what I was expecting, and a great reminder that you never know. So along with the joy, and in some cases disbelief, that these couples feel at the reality that they can now get "officially" married may well be the pain that they have to. Now get officially married. And by this I don't mean that they feel compelled to get ...

The symmetry is cruel. This elusive bird of the deep woods died the same death as did my own true love. A missed diagnosis. A c...Within tw...

Anyway, back to trusting delight. It wa...
