Dealing with Rejection

I recently had the unusual pleasure of talking with two friends about their fresh experiences with being rejected by their romantic objects of interest. Friend number one, whom I shall refer to as Mannix Escobar, recently asked a lady out after having developed a severe crush on her, which he’d had for some time. The

What the Academy of Ballet Means to Me

20 years ago I was asked to be in the Nutcracker ballet by my older sister, who was a student in the Academy at the time. At 16 years of age I was pretty sure that I knew what it meant to be a ‘man’ and joining the ballet was not it, not even close.

A Walk in Your Neighborhood

This afternoon we are enjoying a walk in your neighborhood. It is early summer and the sun shines high in the sky. The light illuminates the depth of your dark eyes. Pools of dark chocolate they are and it is a place that I enjoy getting lost in. Those eyes once so close but too

Listen Up Gentlemen…

I recently read the book “Become Your Own Matchmaker” by Patti Stanger. I tend to pick up titles that catch my eye on the new-release shelf of the library. So what looked at first like an Amazon-warrior-in-a-white-suit adventure novel turned out to be an interesting revelation of what women want from men and how they

Juicing Veggies!

Last month I acquired a used Champion Juicer (www.championjuicer.com) in a game of chance. Since then I’ve tried to juice 2-3 pounds of vegetables every day and I’ve noticed some interesting things. First of all I seem to have much more energy — I don’t feel the urge to take a nap after lunch and
