Comment of the Week
“My schizophrenic partner appears like “a freak within the streets” everytime he exits our apartment, a triumphant and difficult event I now consult with as a “prison break.” We won’t be happening a hut-to-hut adventure within the Rockies anytime soon. But yesterday we went out for coffee together and he actually enjoyed being out in public together with his milky americano. Afterwards, he suggested a brief walk. Hallelujah! Our physical challenge of the week will likely look tame by Primal standards but we’re going, we’re going of course.”
