I love San Francisco, but I miss New Olreans.

San Francisco is my wife. Smart. College-educated. Feminist. With a good job and health insurance. New Orleans is a chick I dated in my twenties, alcoholic and crazy, a girl who gets prescribed lithium and either doesn't take it or takes double doses, who I was crazy about but who would probably not remember me if I ran into her.

I miss New Orleans. And San Francisco is the kind of wife that would insist I go visit her in the hospital.

I am still breathing.
