A soccer-deprived friend recently asked me to help him learn about the most popular sport in the world.
Having been born in the United States of Football, Baseball, and Basketball, he rarely watched “the beautiful game” and never studied its history, strategy, and competitiveness.
I told him I’d take him under my wing. Take […]

Chicks love to blog. They also love to meet other chicks who love to blog.
This was never more apparent than last month when hundreds of them showed up in Chicago for BlogHer ’07, the 3rd annual conference where chicks meet up to talk about boys and have naked pillow fights.
What? They don’t? […]

The Princess has started watching reruns of the cancelled CBS show “Still Standing”. That’s not the disturbing part.
She thinks the show is hilarious. That’s not the disturbing part, either.
She told me recently that Mark Addy, the main actor in the show, reminds her of me.

If we do nothing else noble or heroic in our lives, men at least adhere to one rule: Never Go After Your Friend’s Wife or Girlfriend.
We can add another one: Never Go After Your Friend’s Celebrity Crush.
