I have got to get back into the blogging habit again. So much has been going on in the meatspace of my life that I have thoroughly neglected this blog. Hopefully, I can get back on track.

I got married. I know. That is some crazy shit. After 40 years of being a bachelor and dating more worthless women than I can count, I found the one who was a keeper. My cynicism on all things concerning love and marriage still persist, so don't call me a hypocrite. Mencken said that love was the lie that one woman was better than all the rest. Well, I have dated all the rest, and Molly is better than all of them. She is the One.

I have hesitated writing about all of this for a variety of reasons. One of the downsides of keeping a blog is that anything holy you post here will be cast to the dogs. It is what it is. You put our life out there for people to read and comment, and someone is going to shit on it. I have a thick skin on just about everything, but Molly is and always will be my sensitive spot.

I have a weird life. I am simultaneously intensely public and intensely private. I have 5000+ Facebook friends, but I doubt any of them would recognize me in a grocery store. My Pink Floyd strategy works. You can be famous and private as long as you don't put your face on the album cover.

Molly is my private life, and I will keep her there. She is definitely my better half. There is not a day that goes by that I don't pinch myself over how lucky I am to be with someone like her.
