Since DVR’s came into common usage, I rarely see commercials anymore.  If I do, it is either 1) in the gym (no audio), 2) during a football game (sadly watching the Chargers fall apart), or 3) the first commercial in the break is interesting enough to grab my attention before I can get to the […]

Don’t Freak Out / Don’t Take it Personally

This post is a marital public service announcement of the sort you don’t see very often.  To make my point, I need to be comparatively explicit.  Consider this a warning of a PG-13 rating.

Okay.  I am a few weeks late in putting this one out.  If you read my last post, you know that I was away on an anniversary trip with my wife.  I was a complete slacker on that trip (it was wonderful), and then paid for it the next week by playing catch-up[1]. So let’s […]

Q: What is the most powerful (significant, important) sex organ? A: The brain “It’s not you; it’s me.”  Classic cliché break-up line As I observed in a previous post, Cialis does make beautiful commercials.  This is particularly so if you see them without the audio as I typically do when in the gym.  Middle aged […]

“And as a lover knows his beloved’s heart, all the shapes and curves of her even in the dark,  you know me.” Audrey Assad   An issue requiring some delicacy which sometimes surfaces in therapy is the issue of our bodies.  Often one partner protests (and is offended by) the other partner’s weight gain.  There […]

[1]Since the invention of the DVR, the only place I actually see TV commercials is when I am on the elliptical in the gym.  (At home I just fast forward through them.)  Consequently, there are commercials I have seen dozens of times and never heard the audio.  It is sometimes interesting to note what moves […]
