may have completed its last season. But those of us ‘in the trenches’
of the dating environment, count on humor and insight expressed in the
column, ‘Dating and Hand Grenades’ to keep us informed and smiling. I
know my experiences that have been documented [in the column] are shared
in multiples—by my peers and those involved in the complexity of
matching up a couple of humans. Plus laughter sometimes takes the place
of tears.”
