This question came up the other night at a bbq party. It was pretty interesting; there were a lot of complicated answers and dissecting of both dating and the question. People didn’t really seem to know what made the perfect date for them. Perhaps that is insight into why relationships and dating can become so unnecessarily complicated. I thought about the question and realized very quickly the answer, at least for me. The perfect date? When you don’t want it to end. (When I say that, I mean when neither of you wants it to end.) Remember, date simple. Think simple. Don’t make things so complicated. Dating is not a math problem; it’s simply getting to know someone else while determining if they are worth getting to know even better and sharing more of yourself with. It’s that simple. Enjoy!

A children’s first novel

 

 

I have been busy lately revising Super Flaws, my book for children. With any luck, it will be the first of three in the series. You can check out the initial site for the book at www.superflaws.com. Originally, I planned to have this book released after Choice – The Meaning of Life but unanticipated early interest from the media–including two radio shows–has caused me to move it to the front burner. Check out the art. The artist is awesome, isn’t she? I’ll keep you updated on progress here, of course. There’s an excerpted chapter on the book’s site. I am grateful for your feedback and that of any kids in your life!
