A Five In One Marriage-Go-Round.

Time magazine recently highlighted the five main types of marriages that exist. Up until this point I thought there was just two: good and bad. I never realized there were actually five different kinds of marriage. As you know, I have had my share of direct hits and...

An Acquired Taste.

I wrote a few days ago about my first kiss, which was also my first real taste of beer. Well, it wasn’t exactly my first first. My father used to let me taste his beer, but I think he put the equivalent of a half a shaker of salt in it to make it taste better to...

Whatever You Do…Don’t Kiss The Girl.

I’ve alluded to the fact that I had mononucleosis when I turned 18. As you all know, it’s called the kissing disease, though you can get it from many sources. Me, I got mine from wanting to see a pair of boobs. I had met my girlfriend just before the end...

Don’t Pick the Pretty/Handsome One.

As a guy who has been in the dating trenches several times in my life, I have always marveled at how women seem to gravitate towards the drop-dead hunky, testosterone laden man instead of the sensitive, less than a 10, girly guy with a good sense of humor they often...

Hangover? What Hangover?

As a teenager, I only went on a drinking binge once. I was with two of my female friends, Nancy Dickinson and Kathy McMahon. We had scored a case of beer and were drinking it in the back seat (which folded down nicely) of my mother’s Mustang hatchback. It was...

Online Dating. It’s A Miracle.

I had the dubious pleasure of dating online at one point. I don’t know if many of you have done this, but I can only liken it to walking through a car lot and taking a few test drives, only to find that some of the models are a little squirrely once you actually...

Are You On My List?

I have a list. I’m sure I’m on other people’s lists as well. But more than likely not the one I’m talking about. I think The List started about 17 years ago. It was one of my ex-whatever’s ideas. She casually mentioned it one day. Some...

Thank God For That Speck.

I should have really known better than to marry an agnostic. It’s not that I am into organized religion, but I certainly believe in a higher power more now than at any time in my life. I used to be Catholic, or should I say, Roman Catholic. Though I have drifted...

The Robb Effect

There’s a dirty little secret that is often shared behind my back. Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I am going to blow the lid off this little secret and share it with you, my faithful readers. It’s called the Robb Effect. Right now, there is a...

An Amazing Cast Of Characters

The recent rumors about Charlie Sheen being replaced by John Stamos on Three and a Half Men got me thinking recently. What’s the big deal here? Remember back during Bewitched when Samantha’s husband was Dick York one season and then Dick Sargent the next?...
