Jodi Jodi Arias responded to my Match.com ad after 2013 we’ll begin to forget her and in five years the next generation won’t recognize the name any more than they recognize Love Canal but she was the one who stabbed her boyfriend so many times strangled him shot him he was a monster in a horror film and she couldn’t rest until she was sure he was dead. In response to my ad she wrote: Yes, I have some baggage, but don’t we all? No, I don’t know how long I’ll live, but does anyone? Sure, I talk in platitudes, but who is capable of original thought these days? Yes, we may have to suffer a commuter marriage, but many people do. I’m going through a hard patch right now, “twenty miles of bad road,” but again… I thought: all those things are true Jodi is a modern woman and a philosopher to boot she’s squared away and life with her would not be boring.
