If you’re looking for a dress that doubles as a parachute or small tent in a pinch, I’ve found the garment for you. After all, if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that you must be prepared for anything.

Luckily, I was able to stick to using this dress for its intended purposes while visiting the Indianapolis Museum of Art earlier this month. I know most people miss things like restaurants and parties and their families or whatnot, but me — I mainly wanted to be reunited with walls full of beautiful things. If any of my local readers have been thinking of returning to the Newfields campus, I highly recommend it. Everyone wore masks, there was plenty of space, and I felt totally comfortable. And the current Edward Hopper exhibit is quite apropo.

Last month, we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. As you other long-term relationship folks know, after awhile you have to make a little effort to keep things fresh and exciting. So this year we wore sexy disguises and role-played that there was a worldwide plague that we had to protect each other from at all costs.
