20-20 Blind Sight

I have always been a fiercely independent kind of guy, possessed of a distinct “can do” attitude. I believe that Dawne’s term for it is stubborn. She has often complained that around me she feels redundant, as I don’t seem to need her. Though I have tried to explain the myriad of ways that I do need her, they are always an ephemeral, intangible kind of need as opposed to a practical need. There are few things that we could point to and cite as tangible evidence of what she does for me. Now the tables have turned.

People Before Products

Getting this wrong can lead to unnecessary strife and even the dissolution of entire families. I remember when my maternal grandfather passed away my uncles [...]

Then one day, it hit me: why not let them do the talking! And what’s the easiest way to get someone talking? Why get them to talk about themselves, of course! And you do that by asking them a question.

Do You need A Time Out?

Every once in a while, Dawne and I make a point of taking a time out from the world and all it’s attendant cares and pressures.

What Happened This August

If you encountered some problems accessing the Incurable Romantic during the month of August, never fear, you weren’t alone. I first noticed it when our traffic numbers suddenly, inexplicably dropped by half of their usual. At first I just chalked it up to a phenomenon that bloggers and webmasters commonly refer to as the “summer [...]

“Oh, Marc! I think it’s inside!” She was 8 years old, I was 9, and we were in the ditch behind her house. I suppose her excited cries of mock ecstasy were louder than we had hoped, for a few moments later her Dad caught us, quite literally with our pants down.

Head Banging Love

I like to listen to music as I work, and particularly while I write. For the past month or so, I have been switching between a Blues/Soul playlist and one that could best be termed mellow/romantic. You know, Sinatra type stuff. Now here’s the thing: everything that I have written in the past month has felt hollow to me.
