Wow the TaN turned into the Dr. Ruth Westheimer show.

High school is a different beast when we're in our late 30's or 40's. Still tough, but not the same as let's grab drinks with this dude I met on bumble and rocked with for a few years.

The expectations of finding a vehicle with low mileage at that age isn't realistic though.

And if you do, it's often because something else is wrong with the... uh, carburetor? Am I doing this right?

There's always going to be something wrong with a 30-40 year old vehicle with low miles.

I was literally a grooms man in an ex's wedding two Saturdays ago…I literally went to his out of state bachelor party in October. We are buds.

My best friends wife had an ex as one her husbands grooms men in their wedding…

The way you have been replying is why I am out of this conversation. Can’t have a conversation when one person acts like their point of view is 99.9% the way it is. There are actually adults in this world, who are decent people, who are mature and are not controlled by sex. Respectfully I suggest opening up your mind to reach that level so you are not controlled by just sex, and maybe you’ll realize there are decent people who are not controlled by animalistic habits who can have a healthy platonic relationship with because they are GOOD people. Not every relationship works out, big whoop, but just because theres a sexual history doesn’t mean a friendship cant happen. If both of these people truly enjoyed the non sexual side of their ex partners and are mature then of course a healthy friendship can blossom. Not a hard concept. Amicable breakups leading to good friendships is not uncommon at all, this isn’t even a debate.

The other reason I’m out of this convo after this is you seem to have some bizarre schtick to what I said, as if you are personally offended by it. Like you are basically telling me that I am lying about my life. So again, I’m out of this convo.

Cheers.

It's definitely related to not being mature enough or rational enough to understand that not everyone who your partner has been with wants to be with that person again. It's a immature and childish way to look at the world. Just because someone you're dating now slept with someone else doesn't mean that YOU can't be friends with that person. Is it awkward sometimes? Sure but like I said it's immature to just completely shut the notion down. Tons of people are friends with their Eskimo brothers.

Who takes out their boat in 55 degree overcast weather? Really? In the inland channel where they have to turn the bridge to let us drive past? Really?

Its the same for my convertible. 50 degrees and up with sun works with the top down, 50 and below with no sun, no freaking way. Same with boats.

We lost George Harrison 20 years ago today. The world is worse off without him.

Incidentally, I want to see this documentary.

I'm almost finished. What's interesting about it is that while there was clearly boredom and some tension the sessions were not the pit of misery that John later claimed they were. Frankly, George is the only one obviously unhappy to my eyes and John seems fine once they get back to the Apple building studio.

I’m not sure if people are familiar with Mexican music in general and banda as a particular genre, but I went to see Pancho Barraza live in Queens on Wednesday. He’s my wife’s uncle. The music is all over the place and not really my thing, but damn can he put on a show. Lots of costume changes not just for him, but for his dancers. The male dancers looked like very obviously gay men, and any doubts about their sexual preference were squelched when they came out with pro-LGBT message t-shirts with the price flag colors. And given attitudes in Mexico and Latin America that’s no small feat.

He was expected to play two hours but went well over. I think he wasn’t expecting a lot of people to show up. My friend moved to Guadalajara from Montreal and he and his fiancée are big fans. As he put it, Pancho is a legend. If you go to one of his shows, assuming you’re not Mexican you will be one of a kind in the crowd.

Buddy of mine just found out his wife has been cheating on him for a year. They're married with three kids. They moved down south maybe two or three years ago. She's been cheating on him with the guy who is basically, well was I should say, his best friend down there. Brutal. However infidelity in the state they're in apparently disqualifies you from any alimony. What a shit show. Poor guy.

That's how people get murdered.

Picked 4 ticks off of me today in just an hour and a half walk. I hate those things.

After you get home and find a tick on you for the next couple of hours everything feels like a tick crawling on you.
