Ron is a real person. A Ronulian is someone who acts like Ron. A Ronduh puts up with him. Happy Ronday! Jeff and I met in college. We were in the same performance group, and often got paired together on stage – so we struck up a camaraderie that went from a light-hearted friendship to…

Good Knight
I admit it, I gave up. I found myself blasé about the whole dating thing. Other than “please trample my face” dude, nothing exciting was happening. I even agreed on a second date with the “I Win” guy – my first First After from back in November. I was chatting with a few guys, but…
A Ronulian Story: The Tale of Wally
Ron is real and the inspiration for the Rondays. A Ronulian is someone who is Ronlike. Happy Ronday! My intern was going back to college the last week in August, and my new assistant wasn’t starting until the 2nd week of September. So I had a one-week gap where I wouldn’t have extra help, and it…
Ron-side Seats
Ron is real. That fact alone should scare you. Happy Ronday! As you may recall, Ron and my sister had bought Garth Brooks tickets using the money from when his car payment had bounced. That was the final straw for me as far as helping my sister out financially. I would buy her groceries, I…

Please Excuse The Mess
I was going through some old journal entries on my OKCupid profile, and came across this poem I had written back in 2007. This would have been a few months after having broken up from a second, long-distance attempt with Sully. I was also living with my mom after escaping from crazy psycho roommate and…
A Boy Like Bryan
Being dumped hurts. Being dumped a few minutes before your prom is just devastating. But sometimes, when you dejectedly go to the local hamburger joint in your prom dress, a boy named Bryan happens. I first heard this story this morning on the radio as I drove back to my office. Bryan Hayes is a…
Ron-duh Rememberers
Ron is a real person, and the inspiration for Rondays. Ronulians are people are Ronlike. Ron-duhs are people who put up with them. Happy Ronday! My sister, God rest her soul, was one of the messiest, most disorganized people I know. Every place she ever lived in always looked like a tornado hit it – her cars…
On Dating: Going Organic
I know I had mentioned having someone new and special in my life, but that was fairly short-lived. In reality, I think of him now as my shock absorber. He was newly in my life when I found out about my ex’s engagement, and his presence certainly cushioned the blow. In hindsight (which is always…
