marital

with wife an argument(~!) about aesthetic philosophy.  caulk: silicone vs. sanded acylic.  she attempted to assert the existence of a "natural" aesthetic (platonic, i suppose).  i denied it: its all completely artibrary.  we hammered away at each other until she gave up and retreated to "well, that's what i think," to which i replied "well, yeah, i'm fine with that, me too, just as long as you don't invoke absolutes."  she's still mad at me.  no one wins.  we might be wanting to strip out the silicone & put back the sanded acrylic.  i will ask myself "what would be my just reward for that much labor spent on such an, um, aesthetic consideration."

pheromone level so far this month below normal.

i'm hoping to return to my discourse on the evolution of desire later this afternoon.

kiss & made up ~15m later.  no change in the reality aspects of the situation.
