where were you four years ago, maureen?

from today's new york times:

“Never marry a man who has no friends,” he starts. “This usually means that he will be incapable of the intimacy that marriage demands. I am always amazed at the number of men I have counseled who have no friends. Since, as the Hebrew Scriptures say, ‘Iron shapes iron and friend shapes friend,’ what are his friends like?

ok, ok, it seemed like he had a lot of friends, but they weren't. really.

anyway. food for thought, kids.
