The Candy Formerly Known as Eye has been out of town for 4 days, and I'm experiencing withdrawal. We've been hanging out quite a lot lately, and going cold turkey like this is giving me the jitters. He compared us to an old married couple the other day, and he might be right. Here's a typical conversation:

Setting: Target

Him: All right, I've got the deodorant, the party hats, the travel-size KY -- oh, twine. I forgot I need twine.
Me: What? Twine? You don't need twine.
Him: How do you know if I need twine? Of course I need twine.
Me: No, you have twine.
Him: No, I used the last of the twine.
Me: No, you still have half a roll in that tool box you converted into an art supply bin.
Him: My god, you're right. I do have twine.

And so on.

Being part of an old married couple without the benefit of old married sex is not awesome, but he's a good pal.
