Ironically, this is exactly what I needed to read this morning after having fretted much of the night over my advancing age and recurring feelings of isolation. Most of the time, I treasure not having to account to a live-in partner, being independent, doing my thing however and whenever, having the time and headspace to write without unnecessary distraction.

If my snoring ever disturbed a partner’s rest, I would volunteer for the couch in a hot minute. And, I’ve been a dedicated student of the human anatomy for a good 55 years, if’n ya knows what I mean. That there are still men in this world who remain ignorant about such things and refuse to learn how to satisfy their partners’ needs, makes me ashamed to be a member of their club. Just sayin’.
