Grey’s Anatomy – Okay For Teens?

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 | 21 comments

Ah, Grey’s Anatomy. That show women love so much.
My ex-wife watches it.
My female friends watch it.
My teen daughter’s girl friends watch it.
And my daughter watches it, too.
So when I finally saw Grey’s Anatomy for the very first time, I was shocked at how much casual sex and hooking up  went on. Is this what teens [...]

Posted on January 19th, 2010 | 22 comments

My ex-wife has a huge family living in our area – parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews. Yet, in ten years of divorce, aside from one aunt and uncle who live nearby, I’ve never run into any of my ex-wife’s extended family unless the meeting was pre-arranged.
So it was weird as heck to be [...]
