Funny Pick Up Lines – This One Rocks

Posted on February 22nd, 2010 | 25 comments

I’ve heard some funny pick up lines in my day, but this past Friday night I heard the funniest pick up line yet. It was only one word, but it had us laughing our asses off all weekend.
I was at a writers conference finding my muse, and we spent the day Friday critiquing each other’s [...]

Hungry For You

Posted on January 14th, 2010 | 25 comments

A buddy and I went to dinner in Palo Alto, and afterwards went looking for a place to drink. Of course, this being Palo Alto, that meant we could have swilled beer with college kids, drank cocktails at an empty bar of an upscale Indian place, or paid through the nose at a happening wine [...]

Age is Killing My Eyes (Humor)

Posted on December 2nd, 2009 | 11 comments

Like any Hot Dad, as I get older, body parts are starting to go.
Thankfully, no gray hairs…
no wrinkles… (okay, not many)
no spare tire… (hey, I cycle and run!)
But my eye sight? Oy!

The Bars Were Packed!

Posted on November 27th, 2009 | 14 comments

The night before Thanksgiving is notoriously a great night to hit the bars. People head out for drinks with old friends, before sitting at home all the next day drinking (and eating turkey!) with family. A buddy and I went out that night for drinks at a local wine bar.
Normally, I’d prefer having cocktails at [...]

She Smiled, We Met

Hey, I met a woman last week! Actually, it’s better than that – I met an attractive energetic single mom. In a bar! Very cool. So, how did this come about?
She smiled.
Here’s the scene: my buddy and I were in a wine bar. There were women everywhere (weird for a weeknight in Palo Alto, but [...]

Hot Date, Cold Approach

Posted on February 9th, 2009 | 19 comments

I was recently in Palo Alto by myself on a weeknight, looking to hit the bar of a nice restaurant for a cocktail. For a divorced single dad like me, at my life stage, it’s a better atmosphere for chatting up a stranger than a sports bar or club.
But on this particular night, my usual [...]

Football Playoffs Go Great With Beer

Posted on January 19th, 2009 | 16 comments

My buddy and I caught the Ravens-Steelers playoff game in a bar. I know, I know, I blogged at New Years that my football flame had died out. But as a single parent with half-time custody, and way too much alone time, I’ve learned to accept every invitation I can that comes my way. So [...]
