April 23 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm“He’d come over and I’d do his laundry for him. That was the big thing. I did his laundry how he liked it. He never let anybody else do it. Just me.” Late on a Saturday night, a 24-hour laundromat can be a surprisingly hopping spot. Laundry might seem like the last thing you’d want […]
“He has always taken me out. That was one of the things I liked about him right away. He loved to go out. Didn’t matter what day it was — we’d go out.” They’ve been married for 53 years and tonight, she tells me, they’re going to Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen on Federal Hill to […]

“I had the worst temper of anyone I’d ever met. That was before I went back to holding people. My life was really missing connection and intimacy, and allowing myself to reclaim that just cleared so much up.” For her, “holding” is exactly what it sounds like. She invites people over to her apartment — […]
“I think if 10 people show up, I’ll be happy.” He invited closer to 30. “Ten would be nice, but even if one person shows up, I’m going to be really happy about it.” He’s the guy throwing the party. “I sent out those dumb emails with the cartoons that say ‘Please Come to This’ […]
“He’s what I need to give up. Just him. Him and I’m good.” She tells me that for the New Year, she’s changing the locks and deleting his number from her phone. The house they shared on Gano Street is a little quieter than it used to be since he got an apartment in Warwick. […]
“The last time she was here, it felt forced. It felt like we were trying too hard. I know I felt that way, but I still wanted to try. This year, her kid’s in — I think he’s in Italy or something. He’s traveling. She was just going to sit at home. I said, ‘Why […]
