Coffee is a wonderful thing, I wish I’d known about it sooner.
Why are so many young men so angry online?
This article isn’t likely to suggest anything that will actually help men.
I get that “judgement free zone” is supposed to mean that a pudgy dotard like me won’t feel intimidated by the fit young people, but I am judging people all over the place.

My doctor is about my age, used to wrestle for St. Ignatius and knows what’s up.
