Tweet Such a vision of loveliness on such a gray and dreary day. She got on the Metro with a small group of others at the GMU stop and sat near the door. From behind the plexiglass divider, across the clear expanse of carpet, I could see her clearly. She was just slightly shorter than… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: 120 Minute Crush

Hump Day Crush: A Game of Manhunt
Tweet It usually got cooler there quite a bit sooner up in rural New York than it does around here, so old memories are triggered at times they don’t actually correspond to. Heck, by the time October rolled around, we were often already well acquainted with our heavier jackets. That odd temporal shift of memories… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: A Game of Manhunt
Hump Day Crush: Interlude
Tweet I’m breaking from the normal flow of things here to seek out some opinions. In February, I plan the “official” launch of www.withoutbeingcrushed.com.

The rules to be followed… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: By the Rules
Hump Day Crush: Musings on Relationships, Real and Imagined
Tweet Random bits from longer discourses running through my head. I remember the thought of her more fondly than the reality. From a distance, she was amazing. From a distance, she was all in my imagination. Reality? Not so good. At least I was smart (or lucky) enough to realize it quickly… There was once… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Musings on Relationships, Real and Imagined
Hump Day Crush: Building Confidence
Tweet Without a doubt, self-confidence is one of the cornerstones of a successful life. It helps us get ahead in our careers. It helps us stand up for ourselves so we can do what we want. And it helps us get what we need out of our relationships. Without self-confidence, we can easily end up… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Building Confidence
