What’s cool is that despite all the problems, trouble, restlessness, and whatever that comes in ten years of marriage and sixteen years of being together, we still enjoy each other’s company.
Something to smile about.

- Adam Levine, Maroon 5 singer, in The Advocate
As your diligent reporter, I took it upon myself to ask the men in my life if Adam was right. Does every male secretly want to have sex [...]

Yesterday was mother’s day. I’m certain you knew that.
I never had a mother. The woman who brought me into the world is an alcoholic and a schizophrenic. The year I was born, she was very ill. It’s possible that the strain of three children, her addiction, my father’s financial losses, her mother’s death or fill [...]
