What the world thinks of poly, latest installment
Thanks to Vicky Cristina Barcelona, at least some segment of the country has three-way relationships on the brain. And thanks to the essay I wrote for Babble on poly parenting last fall, I got called in to provide my perspective a couple times last week.
First was the New York Daily News, who did a pretty decent job at a "How does this really work?" kind of article. I have small quibbles (like the wrong definition of a "V" and the assessment that my parents' concern about my first wedding was the queerness not the youngness, when I know I said only something in passing about our age), but overall it's not particularly misleading or sensational.
Then, also not distressing, but very odd, was my appearance on Boston AM talk radio with Curtis Sliwa. (I can't find an archived version of the show.) I had no idea what to expect. My column in Metroland this week talks about the amusing experience and draws some probably far over-reaching conclusions from it. I kind of regret having begged off doing it a second time the next morning with an hour's notice, due to work commitments, if only to see what Sliwa was like after a night to think over what I'd said the first time. Oh well.
Back to my "lifestyle," I mean life.
