Drunken shopping. Always a bad idea. But I had to walk south on the Magnificent Mile. Oh look! The place where Cub Scout and Brownie are registered. I printed out the registry. Crate and Barrel use a horrible semi-touch-screen Windows system. I [redacted ranting]. I said, “[redacted swearing] “, and went to the register and [...]

I have to remember to look for rings
Two weeks ago, I received an invitation from KQED to a talk. I recalled the last time I’d gone to one of KQED’s talks as another one of my crazy dating schemes. I’d hoped that maybe I could meet a philanthropist. Or at least a philanderer. So hard to tell the difference sometimes. It was [...]

Dear Meine Kleine Schwester,
Now that I’ve spent a few years testing out online dating, I just wanted to share a few of the lessons I’ve learned along the way, in hopes that you will learn from my mistakes. 1. Don’t give him your phone number before the third date. I know that texting is the cool thing to [...]

What’s the story behind the car you drive?
That is the question I listed on the dating site I’m currently exploiting. I decided to use that as an icebreaker because 1. Most people have a story. 2. It is a non-committal question. 3. Guys like cars. The thing is that a car can tell a lot about a person. For most people, it [...]

50 ways to leave your lover
I just read an article in Newsweek, Breakup 2.0, about the use of technology in dumping your significant other. It starts off with, “Remember the 2003 episode of Sex and the City in which the girls were shocked that Carrie’s beau Berger broke up with her via a Post-it note?” Yes, I do. “But seven [...]
