Go Figure

Catherine and Tim and the boys moved from Philadelphia to Woodstock. They bought an eccentric old farmhouse with five acres of woods. Chuck and I went to their closing and then took them out to dinner at the Red Onion. “Why is it you’re here for all my family’s momentous occasions?” Tim asked Chuck, but I don’t think he needed an answer.

It took Tim a long time to get past Chuck and Catherine’s ­affair. He and Catherine had been going out, but then Tim moved to Philadelphia and the two of them were taking a break. But it was a break, not a breakup, and Tim was angry with Chuck. Now we have Thanksgivings together, and birthdays, and Tuesday night movies at my house.

Right after Catherine moved, Chuck moved too. He found a house in Woodstock with a nice yard and a big studio.
