New Essays!

Every once in a while I feel compelled to remind you, my three readers, that I do sometimes write things in other places besides this blog.

When I last gave you such a reminder it was snowing and I was whining about being cold. Now spring is here, as announced by birds chirping, flowers peeking through the soil and mini, and mini skirts on parade up and down Broadway. Somewhere between February and now, I wrote a few essays for Divine Caroline, two of which have recently been published.

"Shaving off my manliness," is about my annual custom of shaving my legs in February, ahead of the start of the bicycle racing season. This year, with help from my girlfriend, I tried a new, and infinitely more painful, means of hair removal.

"Sick" is pretty self explanatory. I caught some kind of a stomach bug a few weeks ago, and found myself delirious on the couch for the better part of a day. It was the first time I'd been sick in years, and the experience brought me straight back to my youth. Now you too can go straight back to my youth.

As always, clicking on those links, and reading my essay will remind my editors at Divine Caroline how popular my writing is, and encourage them to give my essays more prominent placement on the site, so click on over and enjoy!

Look for a new essay on Divine Caroline in the next couple weeks. The new piece is about Facebook and how more and more people in my life are signing on, much to my chagrin.
