Here’s some brief notes on the online dating sites I’ve tried, to hopefully speed other people through this process.

One-Year Weight-Loss Anniversary

John MARK Schofield?

People who have known me for a while are slightly puzzled. Why am I semi-consistently using my middle name now, when I never did before? Sudden attack of pretentiousness?
Actually, no. When you Google for “John Schofield,” I’m WAY down on the list — not even on the first page. (Some Civil War General gets all [...]
