What started as a short fling to ride out a global pandemic became something more. Being confined together for months can test a couple, but the experience deepened our bond. I fell in love. I can’t speak for my desk chair from the office—well, maybe I can, since chairs don’t talk—but I feel like I know its heart.
Chair-a-la is the pet name I’ve been using. Sometimes Chair-Chair. Or Chairy-boo (but only in private). Chair-a-la hasn’t reciprocated, but that’s O.K. Call me superficial, but I’ll take three-hundred-and-sixty-degree arms, adjustable lumbar support, variable seat height and depth, and soil-resistant leather over a lot of empty talk. Words don’t fully convey how reassuring and delicious it feels to be truly held by an inanimate object.

CHICAGO ON THE SEINE CAMILLE BORDAS

FOND OF FLAGS
My wife is fond of fast food. I am not. My wife is particularly fond of the Wendyâs Baconator. I argue that itâs less expensive to order a Daveâs Double with a side of bacon, then put your own pretzels on top. (Iâm fond of the Rold Gold Tiny Twists Original.)
