As we focus on our blogs as a safe space in a sometimes turbulent storm, Maria and I started a weekly video, “The Story Of Us,” about our marriage and lives on Bedlam Farm.

We’ll be candid and open about how we live, how we have resolved problems, and how we identify them to keep the marriage strong. Of course, we will talk about the animals and our creative ideas and values. Lots of you have asked about our relationship. I hope you’ll get your answers here. We are excited about it. Friday on the blog, posted sometime in the morning. (The animals always come first.)

This is a taste; we hope to have it up and running on each of our blogs on Friday. Please take a look; this will tie in with our ideas about a sanctuary here free of politics, fear, and anger. See you Friday I hope.

Note: Maria does not give me the finger in the photo above; she moves her hands around when talking. I don’t wish to upset the Yentas, but if they think my old thermometer reading is flawed (and exaggerated), they’ll go nuts over this. And no, I certainly will not change it or fix it.

Maria is way too polite to give me the finger, if necessary; she’d much rather slug me.
