LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

When I was younger and just starting out in my dating career, I used to bring flowers on first dates not realizing the potential awkwardness that lay ahead. Typical responses:

“Oh… thanks…” … The eye pop and the awkward, “Uh, thanks. Where should I put them?” … and my personal favorite, immediate sneezing. ” ‘Are there Bells of Ireland in that arrangement?’ ‘Yeah, I know you’re Irish and thought that you might… you know… think that was cute?’ ‘I’m wildly allergic.'”

At the soon to be ripe old age of 37 I’ve learned a few thing things, I now bring a camera.
