A seeming lifetime ago, it took me a few years to scrape off a bad marriage like shit from my shoe. Particularly during the last two of those horrendous years, when it was dead in everything but name, the state of things were kept a closely guarded secret for logistical reasons that have no bearing […]

Yesterday, Mrs. LFM posted this announcement: A decade ago, after many hours of in-depth, personal, soul-baring conversations, a smart, sexy, hysterically hilarious man named Randy grabbed me and kissed me, changing the course of my life forever.
