And it's especially fun to tell embarrassing stories to complete strangers about your partner. (My boyfriend's name is Joe and he loves to fold socks...
Which returns my gaze to the wreckage. Out of all these broken things, I pull pieces for my collection, detritis, filed away and rigorously catalogued.

Los Lobos has weathered its own internal trial, a loss of direction that followed the group's greatest popular success, and it is by going back to The Neighborhood that the band has finally...
Just beyond the gaze of the golden Buddha in the Eindawya pagoda in Mandalay, the spiritual heart of Burma, dozens of soldiers slouched around the courtyard, propping their rifles against the stone balustrades. Outside the temple gates, more troops manned barbed-wire barricades. "Please leave," an army captain shouted last week to a group of tourists trying to photograph the Buddha. "You may come back when our security situation is right...
