Wrestling With the Notion Not to Fall in Love
Movies have ruined my life; they taught me that people fall in love at the drop-of-a-hat (I should stop wearing hats).
Love and the Third Degree (Burn)
There is always collateral damage when falling in love.
Do This One Thing and Change the World
Much like men never like asking for directions, we also don’t like to do this - sheepishly, I peaked around the open hood and asked, “Do you have the owner’s manual?”
Delivering the Christmas Spirit
Truth be told, and we know if for a fact, rarely do we run into someone who truly has the Spirit of Christmas.

When I say dates, these were Groundhog’s Day dates where I repeated the same lines every night. The only difference was the audience of one to whom I delivered those lines.
