Thoughts On Having Been In Europe When The Volcano Erupted
Well, as of last night Emily and I are back in good ol’ San Antonio, having “survived” being “stranded” in Europe courtesy of that now infamous volcano in Iceland’s shenanigans.
A good number of you sent us very encouraging e-mails over the past week or so, encouraging us to “hang in there”, “be safe”, etc.
While I […]
The Magic Word That Leads To A Better Social Life
I’ve been a bit of a workaholic lately. I bring this up because I’m tired after my work weeks and don’t always feel the energy.
A friend of mine recently called and said “Hey, Austin, how would you like to go do this zombie walk?” What’s a “zombie walk”? As it turns out, […]
Just Say “No” To Infant Circumcision
When Emily and I decided to have our son Scot, Jr. at home, we were confronted with the question that all new parents of little boys have to deal with: Should we have the baby circumcised or not?

The X & Y Communications Asia Tour 2009 Kicks Off
OK, let’s face it. In order to “go on vacation” Emily and I pretty much need to get out of town.

Why There Won’t Be A Newsletter About What Happened In Pittsburgh
I’m sure you’ve read the news about the unfortunate and tragic events that unfolded in Suburban Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.

True Story: How To Handle AMOG Attempts By Pro Athletes
First of all, I just wanted to let everyone know that it’s me, Scot, who is posting this. Jim didn’t originally intend for what you are about to read to be a blog post. He was simply dropping me a note to tell me what had happened the night before. Posting it is […]
The Master Plan — You Already Are A “Natural”
Lately there’s been lots of talk about “natural game”…as if all we need to do is emulate a guy who we see as a “natural”, and we’ll somehow become more attractive to women.
Now sure, having some guys who are great with women show you the ropes isn’t such a bad idea. But do we […]
Emily Is A Calendar Girl…For Real
OK, the rumors are all true. And pardon me while I have a little fun with this post.
By now you know about my “proof of concept”, @emilymckay. And you know we kind of like each other.
That alone is enough to stick around, if you’re a guy like me. Add to that […]
Broccoli Explosion: Cook For Your Date (The Vegetarian One)
Here’s the thing. Some of you have been hammering me for quite some time to blog some new Cook For Your Date material. Just not enough of you to get me to get off my butt and do anything about it. After all, everything you really need is in the book already.
Then, […]
