Barbecued last night with a friend I hadn't seen since her divorce. It was really good to see her--she isn't quite like anyone else I know.

It caused me to reflect on my marriage. As many flaws as my marriage has, I would not want to be single right now. That doesn't mean that if it happened, I'd die or anything. Maybe I'd really blossom, who knows. But in my case I feel like marriage has freed my mind of a lot of worry.
