Getting Married, Update 2
So, it has now been six weeks that I've been dating according to Steve's plan for how to get yourself married. The main change I've made from how I dated previously is that I now date for quite a while before making any decisions about getting exclusive. This has led...
Scruples
It’s the 1970’s in my tv. Last week the Oxygen network broadcast a 1980 made-for-tv movie called Scruples. Does anyone remember this? It was a novel by Judith Krantz that was made a best-seller by women of my mother’s generation. The tv movie starred a...
Not low on irony
So I had my annual physical exam (a few years ago with good health insurance I made a commitment to an annual physical. Why not? I'm getting "up there"). I spoke to Dr. James Clancy, about my menstrual cramps from hell. He confirmed that cramps can get stronger as you...

Constantly date, part two

Note
Mother's Day: Carson's busiest day. Eleven hour shift, no break. Started 1:00 p.m., hit the wall by 6:30 p.m. The hours from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. were very, very hard. Feet hurt, must sit, stare blankly, get up again, re-fill another Coke, bus another plate, more...
F@&$

Carson’s – less business than in past years
What the hell....? I'm getting the word that there are at least two conventions in town this weekend and a food show, but Carson's has NOT been nearly as busy as it should be. Friday night I brought home $65. Saturday night I brought home $77. That's pathetic! People...
Cramps and Housekeys
