A Weight Off My Shoulders.

For as long as I remember I have been on the high side of the scale. No, not in smarts or dashing good looks. I’m talking about the real scale, the one in the bathroom. We have a semi-regular arrangement. Every couple days I will jump on the scale. Other times,...

Stuck On You.

I have always had a policy of not dating anyone in the media. The rule not only extends to reporters, columnists and “personalities,” but also to actors and actresses. A producer would be fine, and even a director, but no one who has been actually on...

Playing Russian Roulette.

Now don’t go into a panic mode. I’m not playing Russian Roulette for real. You know the drill. Put one bullet into a chamber, spin the cylinder, pull the trigger and see what happens. If you’re lucky, nothing. If you’re not, like Terry Kath of...

The Next Best Man.

I have been the Best Man at a wedding a time or two. It was an important job and I was pretty good at it. I knew my role, I knew what to do next, breezed through the rehearsals and handled everything with total aplomb. I never really liked the receiving line thing. I...

Do You Have References?

I’ve had some problems over the years holding down a job over the years. I guess we all know that. One day I would be at the job, thinking everything was fine. Then I’d get a burr in my britches and give notice. Other times, I would be pretty unhappy in...

Coming Out Of A Love Coma.

I heard a song a couple of days ago that really cracked me up, if only because I could see myself in its words. That happens a lot to me. I guess it does to nearly everyone. But for me, the songs about the end of a relationship are particularly dear to me, largely...

An Engaging Experience.

When I was just a wee lad, OK, I was 20, I decided I should marry my high school sweetheart. We’ve been through much of this before here, so I won’t bore you with how that all played out, suffice it to say that I got a wonderful daughter out of the deal....

Will You Movvey Me?

You know that I know all about The Big Day. Yes, that Big Day. You’ve been through it at least once. I’ve been through it a few times more than many, but perhaps not as many as some. I even looked it up a couple days ago. It seems that one out of six...

Dating Is Just So High School.

I have had little choice in my life but to have relationships. I guess that’s the way it is with most of us, at least those of us who don’t want to end up one day living with a bunch of cats, our corpse rotting until someone comes to check on a complaint...

No Soul Mate For You!

God’s a pretty busy guy, it seems. For weeks now, he was doing the miracle thing with the new messiah, Tim Tebow, and then drunk dialing Rick Santorum. And now it comes to light (obviously a devine one) that he’s the mastermind of a website that matches...
