I'd come to town for a second cousin's wedding. The event had been much what one would expect of a country wedding; there was a church, a priest pontificating about the sanctity of marriage, and a lot of free beer.

We both had problems in our individual and separate work places and as the week drew on and we both compared notes as we always did at the end of the day. Living separately had its blessings, but it also had its pitfalls. One of the pitfalls was that in weeks such as this, we could not console each other person...
