Like Spoons in a Drawer

 She had the best laugh of any woman I’ve ever known. It was an explosive thing, half giggle, half guffaw, and she let it rip, no holding back. It went right from her belly out into the world in short, ecstatic peels. I made her laugh, and she made me laugh, too. Carol Stimpson from Seattle, Washington. We were together when we were young and new to New York, and I was lucky to have found her. She made my life rich and bright. We fell in love with each other, and then with New York City. That’s something you never forget. It’s something you always have, the light of the love for that city together.....
