Was It Destiny, Fate… Or Simply Pure Luck?
There are such fine lines between those three compatriots. Does it ever pay to dawdle? In total, I added up about six or seven minutes, which would have resulted in a completely different ending to this story. It all began yesterday afternoon, as I headed out the door. A phone call interrupted my exit. It was my…

Who Has One… and Who Doesn’t?
Yesterday, I was on St.John’s Boulevard riding the early morning 470 Express, in a blizzard. It was rush-hour-jammed to the brim. Typically Montreal. Damn, is she HOT.Paul, she’s too young for you.Ya think? Nah… I’m pretty sure I’m in her range.Dude, take a look in the mirror and get real.You might be right.Stop looking at…

How Prepared Are You For The Unthinkable?
I must be a magnet for helpless women, or do I look for them? Yesterday, that sprawling snow-covered parking lot surrounding Fairview Mall was the scene of my latest rescue. I was parked in the boonies, and so was she. The blizzard conditions could only mean one thing: Arctic temperatures would flourish and freeze exposed…

Is Anyone Ever Ready For Their First Strip Search?
Vermont sounded like a wonderful place to spend a couple of days last weekend. When Lynn invited me to her lakeside cottage, I said “Yes” in a jiffy and escaped Montreal in an effortless flash. The evening drive was peaceful; a persistent moon trolled me along a wide-open road. Before long, I’d arrived at the…

The trails of an intrepid vagabond are sometimes rocky. I once took a tedious three-week business trip that spilled across Central Europe with a terminus in London. I’d concluded my exhaustive meetings one day sooner than expected and was anxious to return to Montreal and be with Lynn; it was my birthday. So I booked…

Does a Man With a Titanium Shaft Have an Advantage?
“And then he says to the judge — well, if it were mine, I wouldn’t have put it in MY mouth.” I almost choked on my vodka as the four of us burst out laughing. Jennifer, John’s wife, reigned supreme as the queen of the double entendre. The waitress paused as we calmed down and…

Immortality Only Lasts Twenty-Five Years…
I might have said something else or kept my mouth shut if I’d known or had thought a little more. I’ll be more vigilant next time; it’s the only promise I can make. You can never tell what’s disguised behind a person’s smile. Last Sunday, I walked along my usual path by the lake. The…

Clams and Lemon Pie
There’s this cute Italian place over by the Pointe-Claire marina that I wanted to try last week. I gave FrankeeZee ( … my good friend from another social site… ) a call, and he said sure. Oh, and he’d be coming with his lovely NEW girlfriend, Gina. I said, great! Hey, I’m not a huge fan of…

Eight DoS and DONTs… When Dealing with Romantic Rejection…
Rejection sucks, but it’s part of this game called ‘life.’ Being able to handle and accept a rebuff is an even more significant part. YOU know you’re special, but it doesn’t mean everyone will feel the same. You can be the cutest, most succulent plum, but some people hate plums — trust me, I know.…
