Hippy Feminists cleanse the Pallete

After the semi-shame of "the Bachelor", the following day I did a background piece for two people who were going on the "the Jeff Probst" show. They were a retired couple, Harvey Sadis and his partner (they don't like calling each other husband and wife) Harriet Coe. He was a elementary school teacher and she had been an attorney and a judge. Back in 1972, instead of getting married, they entered into a contract that expressly stated their expectations for their partnership and their lives together. It was sort of like a super pre-nuptupal agreement. It was a cause celeb and was hailed in MS. Magazine and made the wire service. They were really interesting people and very inspirational. Their house was a funky throw back to the 70's but obviously lived in by people who live lives of great thoughts and actions. They themselves were fit and very smart and were just the type of people I hope Laurie and I are when we are that age. I really liked hearing the unabashed feminist and unapologetic progressive liberal statements come from them. It was just the right tonic to the sad program of the day before.

Harvey turned out to be the cousin of Stephen Sadis, a friend for whom I worked a few years back, and he also knew Andrew Tsao, a UW drama professor who was a friend in the distant 1980s.

A  terrible picture of Rick's hair loss and Harriet.
