There is a local commercial running on the radio station I listen to. It is one for a men’s clinic which specializes in, you know, “Men’s issues”. This is a family friendly blog so I will leave it at that. The commercial starts out with the guy saying he has a “to do” list and one of the things on it is to go to the clinic. At the end of the commercial, he says, “Now I can put my wife on my “To do” list! Here I feel a little like Red Green ( Red Green show is awesome) and I want to sit us, men, down and have a discussion about this. First, don’t talk like that! You are never going to get anywhere if you tell her she is on your “to do” list. In fact, I bet if you asked her how she feels about that statement you would find out that that one won’t be getting checked as done. We men should know by now, and by now I mean we don’t have it figured out but we definitely know what not to do, that we have to be more subtle than that. I know we men are slow and reading signs, both highway and from women but we should at least be getting better at it as we get older. I have learned the lessons of plastic flowers and small appliances for Christmas by trial and error, mostly error, and have logged them in my memory bank for future reference. These things we need to lock in our brains and if not in our brains we should at least write them down in our phones. After I have lost all my senses and am in an old dusty room somewhere drooling on myself and can’t even remember my own name, those will be the only things I will be able to recall with certainty. I just wanted you men to know, like Red Green says, we are all in this together!
