Everyone needs a place where they feel they belong. A place of camaraderie where you will feel comfortable no matter what. I have found in my lifetime that I possess the ability to become a bit of a chameleon, able to blend into most situations with relative ease. I rarely embarrass myself or find myself worried […]
There are few places a man likes to be in less than a jewelry store. It is a store filled with only attention grabbing things. Worse, none are ever cheap. Being a notorious cheapskate, a jewelry store is my worst nightmare. I guess that means I should be considered the greatest husband in the history […]
It’s always nice to receive mail. There’s just something about getting that envelope and holding it in your hands. It could be anything from a card to an invitation to one of the many soirees I am frequently invited to. (Editor’s note: Nathan not only has never been to a soiree, but he is only […]
