We’re living in some of the strangest times, at least in my existence. Companies, organizations, and individuals the world over are standing in solidarity with Black people for the fight to end police brutality and dismantle systemic racism. The symbolic gestures, donations to causes doing the work, and removal of statues erected to traitors and slave owners have not gone unnoticed. Even with these somewhat dubious commitments, I still question if I’m living in some alternative reality. NASCAR has banned the confederate flag from flying during it’s races and members of the U.S. Senate wore kente cloth while taking a knee to mourn the lives of Black people unjustly murdered by the same system they uphold. At this point, I’m awaiting the arrival of extraterrestrial life forms to penetrate our atmosphere. In the midst of this calamity and clownery, Julia and I were still able to celebrate ten years of marriage. It’s in the moments of most uncertainty and frustration that one needs an anchor to firmly fix them from drifting into the sea of despair and confusion. My wife and I have been through two recessions, a financial crisis, countless murders of Black people filmed with no repercussions, the rise of fascism, a few epidemics, and one pandemic. Through it all, we toughed it out together.
