Settle down, class, because I’d like to introduce you to the new girl, and we’re going to try something different at Club GK. Joining us today for an e-mail exchange is Tall Anna, aka Freebird No. 4 from a previous post. We had one date together, and I can’t promise I won’t hit on you again [...]
I am interrupting today’s turkey and pumpkin pie binge to make a temporary farewell entry. I’m two days from the vacation of a lifetime, as I’ll be spending 28 days visiting Australia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Today’s question is brought to me by Jude, who shares a problem he’s having lately: telling a woman how he can relate to her: “Lately my game has been doing good except for one little thing: relating in emotion.
