About six months ago I was contacted by &#8220;Jack&#8221; because he was considering taking a job in Santa Barbara.  He was currently in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the continuing de-evolution of real men, there are arguments that this phenomenon started in the &#8217;70s when divorces increased and boys were raised by single mothers.  OK, then what explains men in their &#8217;60s that behave like… pussies.  In my case, I&#8217;m going to blame it on California, again. I received a voice mail [...]]]></description>

AMFINS:  I&#8217;m drunk.  You aren&#8217;t.  Me awesome. ME:  I&#8217;m catching up. AMFINS:  Fucking drunk.  Meeeeee. [...]]]></description>
