There’s No Right Way to Meet Mr. Right…Right?
At a job try-out last week I found myself having a conversation about – what else – dating with one of my potential new coworkers. Once the 50/50 cat came out of the bag (I have a hard time not mentioning it when asked directly about what I’m up to in life at the […]

That Bizarre-o Fear of Flying
Through fortuitous events, Megan and I wound up flying First Class to Alaska. Most people are probably thinking OOO! First Class! right about now, but believe me when I tell you only two thoughts went through my mind when I found out about this switcheroo: 1) Does this mean we have to board sooner? 2) Does this […]

Boy, Crazy.
There was a lull between the lower 48 states road trip and getting to Alaska and Hawaii. We planned this respite from travel for a few reasons: to replenish our funds via working (Megs literally went to work the morning after we returned, I followed suit five days later) and to hang out with our […]

The Relationship Puzzle
More on the Adam story tomorrow, promise. A common complaint from internet dating is that their date didn’t look like their photo. Sure, to some degree people are running around posting their hottest photos taken at their best angles, but I think what happens more often is that people look different when they are in […]

#Progress
I hate flying. No, not like, I hate it but I grin and bear it. It’s more like, I hate it and I cry and once I just did not get on the airplane after being dropped off at the airport. Another time, I was actually on the plane before I ran off of it. […]

Compassion
I absolutely hate when I catch myself paving a road to hell with good intentions. Perhaps the worst part about this is the sheer earnest resolve that comes from good intentions. Having purposefully made choices explode like a frozen bottle of Drakes IPA is disconcerting for a number of reasons, not the least of which […]

Corn-Flakery
I’m going to date myself here (no pun intended) when I say the song running through my head as I write this is Tori Amos’ Cornflake Girl.* She sings, “Never was a cornflake girl, thought it was a good solution hanging with the raisin girls” which I’ve always thought was a clever line – clearly, though, […]

The Road From Denver to Moab
For the record, I think no one would be the wiser if I skipped out on writing about the rest of our stay in Denver, but it seems too weird to simply leap from a sick Megs and a flustered me right into waxing over the waning moon about my Utah date. What happened post-Bryan in […]

New Men in New Mexico
In comparison to the drive from Dallas to El Paso, getting into Los Alamos was easy-peasy lemon-squeezy. Into Huckleberry FIt and up some mountainy-hill-things, all in under five hours. I’d always known the Southwest was supposed to be sensationally stunning, but I was unprepared for what that exactly meant. I imagined some sunset-colored rocks on […]

We Don’t Always Remember What We’re Made Of
It’s amazing how you can be told the same thing over and over again, by a variety of people (occasionally even by fate/the universe/the powers that be at large), and the message refuses to sink in, until one day, the right person in the exact right situation tells you and TA-DA! Dust falls from certain levers […]
