 == Synopsis ==
+'Endings' is all re-used, from 'Karma' parts 1, 4, 5, and 6.
+Joe tells of meeting a pretty young woman 'literally half my age' 'a
+number of years ago'.  She has only a shower in her apartment, misses
+taking baths.  Joe invites her over to use his 'large luxurious'
+bathtub.  They talk the first time, then she sews the buttons back
+onto his pajamas.  The next time Joe joins her in the tub (!) and they
+make love.  She wants to have a more serious relationship, Joe
+doesn't, citing the difference in ages.  Joe says, 'I pointed out that
+when I was 70, she'd barely be 40'.<ref>Thus she must have been 30,
+Joe 60, when they met, which was 1998-9, not 'a number of years ago'
+before 2000.</ref> He tries to get her to compare their relationship
+to her having one with 15-year-old (half her age) boy.  She falls in
+love with him, he breaks it off.  She visits and calls, desperate for
+him.<ref name=karma1>originally aired in [[Karma (Part 1)]]</ref>
+:50: Larry tells of a love affair he had '22 years ago' when he was
+'32, 33 years old'<ref>He was born 1942 October 30</ref> with Barbara,
+a tall blonde woman from Washington (state) who worked as a waitress
+where he worked as a bartender.  It lasted for '3, 4 weeks', ended
+Larry did not know why.  Larry was distraught, told her that he had
+given her his 'love feather',<ref>allegedly an image borrowed from
+Native Americans - I find no evidence of this</ref> didn't know if he
+had another.  She married soon afterwards, later divorced, teaches
+acting at Rutgers and has 2 grown daughters.  That was the last time
+he really fell in love.
+'After her, I did one of those "Albert Camus" things when the first
+woman who came along and said "Let's be boyfriend-girlfriend" I said,
+"Okay".  And that's kind of the way it was with my wife.  I didn't
+care, I had no will.  I felt by the time I was 35 that I had failed in
+my life.  Of course now it's 22 years later'.<ref>Larry was 35 in
+-8; 22 years later is 1999-2000.</ref><ref name=karma1 />
+:00: Larry Block tells of the woman moving into a nearby apartment.
+She's an attractive older woman from California, an actress.  They
+hang, ride bikes around town, eventually have an affair.  Larry talks
+to a friend about the friend's affair, mentions his; his daughter Zoe
+overhears it, tells Jolly, who decides Larry has to move out.  Larry
+has a job in California.  The time away cools out their anger; they
+allow Larry back into the home.  Larry and Jolly move into the alcove
+in the living room (just big enough for a bed and a few little
+dressers), Zach into the master bedroom.<ref name=karma4>originally
+aired in [[Karma (Part 4)]]</ref>
+:10: Joe talks about relationships and the painful memories that
+persist after they end.<ref name=karma5>originally aired in
+[[Karma (Part 5)]]</ref>
+:00: Joe imagines Kate's future lovers, first a wealthy
+older Hollywood type, 'Felix Handelsman', who names his yacht after
+her.<ref name=karma5 />
+:00: Joe is tormented by grief at the thought of her, but
+doesn't answer her calls or e-mails: he's cut himself off completely
+from her but is obsessed with her.<ref name=karma5 />
+:20: Joe imagines Kate's next lover is a brilliant young
+screen-writer, winner of the biggest advance ever for his first
+script, a man so thoughtful and widely-read Kate can learn a lot from
+him; compared to him, Joe is a 'retarded schoolboy'.<ref name=karma5 />
+:50: Joe imagines Kate's next lover is a champion
+triathlete, next to whom Joe is a 'failed physical
+specimen'.<ref name=karma5 />
+:50: Larry says he thinks he'll never experience real love
+again.<ref name=karma1 />
+:10: Kristine McKenna talks about bad relationships, mentions one of
+hers.  She draws a parallel between romantic love and extreme
+performance art.  She tells of [[Wikipedia:Chris Burden|Chris Burden]], the performance artist
+who had himself shot, crucified on a Volkswagen, sealed in a box for 3
+days, then the
+[[Wikipedia:Viennese Actionism|Viennese Actionists]], one of whom cut
+off slices of his penis.<ref>These are unpleasant to read about.</ref><ref name=karma6>originally aired in [[Karma (Part 6)]]</ref>
+:20: Jack Kornfield tells of a woman whose husband had died.
+They were involved in the spiritual community.  3 friends told her
+different stories about what had happened to him - they had seen him.
+The stories disagreed, so she asked Kornfield to sort it out.  He told
+her to focus on what she knew.  He quoted Suzuki Roshi's single
+comment that embodied Zen: 'Not always so.'  He tells us that we
+should focus on what we know.<ref name=karma6 />
+:50: Larry Block tells of a relationship with a woman 25 years ago,
+when he was one of the Dromios in <i>Comedy of errors</i> in
+Shakespeare in the park. (1975).  He had a brief passionate
+relationship with a woman, was distraught that it ended.<ref>It seems to
+be a different woman than the similar relationship in the same year he
+described in [[Karma (Part 1)]].</ref><ref name=karma6 />
+:50: Kornfield leads a meditation, asking how our heart
+responds to different circumstances.<ref name=karma6 />
+:10: Joe talks about love, that pop songs are about love,
+never about business affairs or unpleasant family matters.<ref name=karma6 />
