I showed up at a local Laser Tag place to pick up my son from a youth group outing. He was paling around with some boys a year younger than him. No one I knew. But they were excited to see me.
They came over to me, bowing, proclaiming: We’re not worthy!

I was recently at a restaurant bar with a single mom friend, catching up over drinks. (I tried dating her a few summers back, and the chemistry wasn’t there for more than friendship.)
We were sharing stories about our current dating prospects when the bartender interrupted our conversation.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to eavesdrop,” he said [...]
Silicon Valley night life is absurd. My buddy and I went out for dinner and mojitos at a hip tapas restaurant. There were attractive women, well dressed men, couples, trios, you name it. It was quite the scene.

The last time I was surrounded by so many women was last fall at Book Group Expo in San Jose. The expo allowed book lovers to discuss [...]

Here are some Bay Area hot spots [...]
On the way to school this morning my kids and I saw a bumper sticker that read: My Golden Retriever is Smarter Than Your Honor Roll Student. I didn’t find it particularly amusing, but my daughter cracked up.
“Why is that funny?” I asked.
“Not all schools are equal,” she said. “An honor roll student someplace else [...]
