Love, thy name is business. Let me count the ways.
I’ve been thinking about the Love Biz, musing over my history and wondering about my future, even as I’ve canceled out of Match.com yet one more time. Yep, after following the rules of its 6-month guarantee.

Life sucks. We know.
I’m tired of reading bad news. Enough already. Do you hear that New York Times? Wall Street Journal? MSNBC?
