I’m still in that odd and unfamiliar state of not knowing where I stand with my husband. Even the phrase “my husband” is beginning to feel like an ill-fitting jacket. He’s part of my life—I see him almost every day—but he’s more like a brother, a roommate, a friend. Can I remain married to him under those circumstances? Should we aim for an “arrangement,” in which we share a home but not our bed?

I’ve been checking up on my old friend Alyssa. Her lawsuit against Roger seems to be in a holding pattern while her lawyer rounds up more witnesses to depose. At the supermarket I ran into Letha Harris, an acquaintance of mine from Lamaze class who teaches first grade at Oak Hills Elementary, where Alyssa works. I asked about kindergarten teachers there, under the pretext of preparing Pete for starting school next year (as if I’d ever let him in Alyssa’s class—over my dead body!).

Letha’s take on lovely Ms. Elkins: What she lacks in experience, she makes up in energy and creativity. The kids love her, parents are divided (fathers like her, moms are wary), and colleagues have yet to accept her into the fold (“My guess is she’s too damn sexy for them,” Letha observed). As for the principal, “She’s got him under her thumb. She managed to get a $1,000 grant to establish a saltwater aquarium when everyone else is still struggling just to get Lego tables.”

I hadn’t heard from my client Claire in about two months and had written her off until this week, when she called to say that she was in “big trouble.” Claire is usually unflappable, and it was weird to hear her sound so shaken. I’ve arranged to meet with her first thing Monday morning. I wonder what’s up?

’Til next time,
