He’s Not Worthy! You Deserve Better!

Posted on February 9th, 2010 | 14 comments

I just finished reading the first several chapters of Lori Gottlieb’s book – Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. I followed that up with some browsing in the single mom blogosphere.
Can I just say: Oy!
I knew women went about choosing men in a different way than men choose women. But to [...]

I was recently in a financial services office where a gorgeous young woman was servicing me. (Now, now – just because my mind was in the gutter doesn’t mean yours needs to be, as well.)

I recently attended a broadcast performance of the opera Turandot. When I blogged about the evening, a married mom asked: And you don’t have the ladies lined up at the door? What’s up with that?
