It’s been a few weeks since I moved in with TNG, and I hope I can say the worst is behind us. We’ve argued, I’ve cried, he’s hid, I’ve packed a bag (and then put it away), we’ve argued some more, I’ve cried some more… and now we finally seem to be getting into a
B-O-R-I-N-G. I’m happy for you… I really am. As close friend, writing partner and one of your biggest fans, true happiness is all I’ve ever wanted for you. Maybe you’ve (finally) found it. Maybe baking banana bread while folding laundry and debating the merits of shampooing the living room carpet is a hidden nirvana for
I went to a wedding last weekend. I just heard you groan again. But this wedding wasn’t any ordinary wedding. It was a family wedding, and a weekend spent with the family members I love most. It was a simple wedding – it was 70 year-old marrying 75 year-old. These were two people who really
First of all, I don’t “groan” at the mere mention of a wedding. However, I have to admit that in some twisted way, I am proud that you think this of me. I am both aware, and appreciative of the notion that weddings take place around us every day. Hell, some of those marriages will

When I was little, my best friends were Tommy and Jack. We did everything together… rode our bikes, played stickball, pool-hopped – you name it, we did it. The only times we weren’t together was when one or all of us was grounded… probably for something we did as a group. Of course, I was
It is often said that if you want to know how a man will treat a woman, you should pay attention to how he treats his mother. That may be true, and we’ve talked about guys and their moms before, but what we haven’t talked about are girls and their dads. Maybe that’s my fault,
The minute my daughter was born, I knew I was forever a changed man. The first time I held my E.T. look-a-like infant daughter in my arms, I immediately realized that I would spend the better part of my life making sure she would always be taken care of – by me. From the day
It happened. I didn’t plan on it… I didn’t think it through… I almost didn’t remember it. But it happened, and there’s no going back. I dropped the L-bomb. I could blame massive amounts of alcohol, I could blame being half-asleep, or I could just cop to it. I said, “I love you”…. and I
