This must be how cows feel when the farmer forgets to milk them

My eyes are burning from sleepiness, but theycan’t stop darting back to the TV where Bobby Flay is challenging a San Antonio woman to a “puffy taco” battle. My head is throbbing with every beat of my heart. My nostrils are flaring because of the damp smell that mysteriously emanates from the downstairs shower.

First Date

How many of you have ever been on a first date with someone? A lot of you, right? OK, so let me set this up for you all. You meet each other in front of a public place. A restaurant, maybe.

You both take time to deliberate and eventually place your...
