Theresa Donahoe, All the Great New Things to Come (excerpt)
December 2019, my sister and I are enjoying our annual holiday visit in Union Square in San Francisco. All of a sudden, a guy on a bike whizzes past me and practically knocks me over. He yells, “Tourist!”
Me? I am NOT a tourist! TRIGGERED!!
Steve Budd, Oy, What They Said About Love (excerpt)
Is there such a thing as “the one”? Steve Budd wonders why other people can tie the knot and he can’t. Oy, does he wonder! So, he asked a bunch of couples what brought them together and what keeps them from pulling apart. Meet a Jewish couple who met on Craigslist, an interfaith pair who met at a Halloween party, and more.
