I’m sorry for your loss. Just commenting to say you’re not alone: My wife died earlier this year. I’ve thought about buying a car, a small, quick car in a little bit lower price range, maybe a convertible. So I’ve considered Tom’s suggestion of the Jaguar F-type (heavy, though), a used Porsche Boxster or Cayman, a…

If you ever find yourself responsible for wiping someone else’s bottom, over is the way to go.

There’s not much more to say than that. “I’ll demonstrate my adequacy by mocking what other people value.”

What’s in it for me? sounds like a shaky philosophy for being an adequate man.

Interesting essay! I wish it had taken a dive beneath the discussion of rich and famous men who cry in public, to get at the experiences of guys going through their everyday lives and sometimes crying. I think there’s only so much you can learn by observing performers who are probably constantly aware they’re under…
