They always do, it’s one of the things of nature. Most people are afraid of change, but if you look at it as something you can always count on, then it can be a comfort.”—ROBERT KINCAID (PLAYED BY CLINT EASTWOOD) IN THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTYWhile I was touring this past year, I went back to Australia—this time with a lot less nerves and no enmeshed relationship with my seatmate. But I did meet a man on tour in Australia and we fell for each other. We had an impetuous one-week affair and he ended up coming to America for three months to be with me. Monogamy. Meeting my friends. Traveling America together on planes, trains, and automobiles. We dove head first into a quasi-relationship. (We’re in the beginning of his last month here before his visa expires or as I call it, “Month Number . . . Fuuuuck, We Didn’t Think This Through.”)But don’t worry, you distressed single people who were almost at the end of this book hoping to find solace in the fact that my life, like yours, remains a shit show—by the time this book is in your hands, I’m sure my romance will be over.
