Work From Bed Friday
A committed couple of 30+ years in conversation about marriage, sex, and connection through the lens of contemporary books and media that have ignited their marriage, sex, and connection. Every Friday. From bed.
Work From Bed Friday
Serendipity, Lies, and Erotic Possibility
Is the universe just a big wonky pinball machine? As our character keeps the ball in motion without making much forward progress toward her destination, Amy & Tommy discuss a magical land called Monrovia, interactions with strangers, and the Piña Colada song, to which Amy gets the concept right, but bungles the lyrics and details.
In Chapter 5 of Miranda July’s All Fours, the action of the road trip is interspersed with our character’s deep thoughts. Likewise, Amy & Tommy jump from reflecting on parenting, restlessness, and eye contact with strangers to sharing their longstanding anniversary tradition of revealing personal secrets to one another.
