I am mostly invisible, these days, but that’s fine — I’ve lived that way most of my life, and I like it. When I need to, I take on my Instructor aspect or my Announcements aspect or my Just Her Husband aspect and become somebody else long enough to do what needs done. I don’t have to worry about anxiety episodes or people who feel I need the value of their opinions or folks who ask me about things without listening to my answers. I make jokes to clerks who look harried and leave coins in parking lots for children to find and put the can of tuna back in the tuna section when I find it with the chicken. I tell my wife she’s beautiful, because she is, and that I love, because I do. And life goes on, and I’m fine.
