That and the fact that both my husband and son are called Rad for short, is why I absolutely had to post it here. Your town fills up on these long weekends, while New York empties out. The streets become eerily quiet. It's always weird to me in a city that's usually so bustling. It makes me feel as if I should be elsewhere.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-21318895638071248542018-05-25T10:34:02.465-04:002018-05-25T10:34:02.465-04:00Olga!

I first thought it was an homage to Steve Reed's beautiful doggie Olga, especially with that photo. Oh these long weekends.

The real driver of the story is not the espionage so much as the relationship between the two spies, put together to live as a married American couple. They have children, they fall in love, but life is so hard-edged, especially when their daughter becomes a teenager and starts to suspect her parents are hiding things. For me, it got better each season, and this final season is by far the most taut. I watch it hardly breathing. It ends next week, and it does look as if every danger that lurked is now coming home to roost. It's on netflix i think, except for the final season, which is currently live on TV. hope you're doing well, friend.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-13446955330261855052018-05-25T09:23:29.540-04:002018-05-25T09:23:29.540-04:00am, the feelings come and go. we will try to remem...am, the feelings come and go. we will try to remember that, okay? i always love seeing you here. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-83386710004705909142018-05-25T09:22:40.827-04:002018-05-25T09:22:40.827-04:00Ms. Moon, I think about the posts Scott writes on ...Ms. Moon, I think about the posts Scott writes on insta, and I wonder why I seem so resistant to just meeting each moment as it is, why I am so often wanting the moment to be different.

We don't WANT to do anything else, but it still seems like everyone else must be having a much better time! <br /><br />Sometimes the only sane response to a sink full of dishes is to ignore them.

I identify with the lived experience of invisible reeling and feeling out of sorts on those holidays as well as the knowledge that the feelings come and go. Hoping. Sending love.
