A Date at the Laundromat
A romance thread at Sherry the Redhead Riter’s “BlogNTweet” forum reminded me of this story. Sherry asked how often we date.
Now, of course, I don’t date, because my Beloved (formerly “the Missus”), she doesn’t let me date. (It’s probably better that way.)
But we do “date” each other, occasionally… Well…
We used to date, even if we [...]
EyeLeash: A Blog Novel (Book Review)
Not too long ago, Jess C Scott sent me a PDF of her first indie novel EyeLeash: A Blog Novel, to kick off a series of book reviews I’ve wanted to do, of indie and mid-list novels and memoirs.

I went rollerskating with some friends, in particular, a girl I knew, who [...]

My Worst Date Ever
In my day, I went on my own share of bad dates. Here’s one from Love through the Eyes of an Idiot.
It all started after I developed a crush on this girl, a little young for me, but her mother liked me and trusted me. We sat and talked sometimes. She was small, cute, with [...]
