Back in my single days I was a cold-hearted-man-hater. Now, I know that when you’re single (and sometimes even when you’re not) it’s pretty natural to express frustration with the opposite sex, but I assure you that cold-hearted-man-hater is not exactly an exaggeration.

I recently extended an invitation for someone join the Merket family. Unfortunately, she declined. Something about my line of tying my shoe while we were out on a hike Monday and then saying, “While I’m down here…” was “ridiculous.” It sure made the rest of the trip down to my family’s home a little…um…awkward.
