The Grocery Store At Night Is A Happy Place
I was in the supermarket last night.
Usually I shop on weekday mornings.
However, last night I was in the supermarket around 10 PM.
I often notice young couples shopping together when I go the supermarket in the evening.
These couples are both straight and gay.
They often seem happy.
I think maybe their autonomy and their relationships are both still relatively new, and that shopping together late in the evening is an affirmation of both the autonomy and the relationship.
My wife and I have been married 8 years and I am 40 years old.
But I’d like to think that our marriage still has the energy and happiness I see with the young grocery shoppers.

Welcome To Texas Liberal

Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
