the burger project

Today I ate a burger so big, the logistics of each bite had me panicking a bit. How to close my mouth around and sink my teeth into two, two and a half inches of beefy goodness without making a mess? I tried squishing the buns together at first, but it only caused some of the jalapeno slivers and caramelized onions to slide out from the side. Fortunately, hunger overcame my usual tendency to overthink (yes, even eating) and before I knew it, I was halfway tucked into the burger I concocted: 100% beef patty with garlic cream cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, caramelized onions and lettuce. At that point I didn't care if I had sauce on my chin and was not exhibiting any manner of refinement whatsoever. Bite after bite, I opened my mouth wide, exposed my teeth, and chomped down savagely into the treat. Burgers, especially this big, are meant to be eaten like a primitive man who, only hours ago ruthlessly hunted an animal, now tears into its flesh, unmindful of anything except his own need and hunger. Yes. That's exactly how I felt. Well maybe not really but you get the picture.

Dear Dave,

I am sitting on the bed with my laptop while you are peacefully snoring beside me. Just a few moments ago, while you were sleeping, you turned to me and gave me a tiny kiss on the arm.  You do this sometimes.

Once, while I was lying in bed waiting for sleep to come, you turned to me (whilst sleeping) and kissed me - on the back was it, or on the shoulder? - I don't remember where, but I do remember the sweetness, the unexpectedness of it.

You disarm me even when you don't mean to.  I love you.

I hope you know just how much I really love you.
