Worlds collide
As I spent Tuesday and Wednesday nights at The Auteur’s house, it started to occur to me just how much our lives are starting to intertwine. Of course, this is probably normal for this stage of any relationship; but the accelerated pace her and I have been on seems to…

Hacked!
About one month ago, I was singing the praises of match.com to anyone who would listen. After all, I met The Auteur through match. She alone has made a supporter of online dating sites. Out of respect to our budding relationship, I decided to cancel my match membership a few…

Have you ever had two bad dreams in the same night? or was it just one really long bad dream? Only my mind knows for sure…

uncharted territory
Last week, the Auteur’s daughter, whom I shall affectionately refer to as “1B” said to the Auteur that she was ready to meet me. The Auteur ran this past me. I didn’t really have a problem with it. I work with kids her age (or a little older) all day…

reflecting on a week in the Grand Strand.
As I type this, I am sitting at the gate waiting for my flight to Detroit to pull in. I’ve spent the last 6 days in Myrtle Beach, four of which I spend with My Son. As usual, he was giddy to see me; so excited he was running a-mile-a-minute.…

preemptive strike
Wednesday, the Auteur and I were speaking (as we had been every night this week) and we were half jokingly / half seriously talking about getting together on Thursday or Friday (before our planned Saturday date) – kind of a preemptive strike if you will. Thursday she suggests we meet…

Enter…The Auteur
In this 2026 refresh of ‘Enter… The Auteur,’ Rob looks back at a pivotal 2013 milestone in his 1,000-day journey. Comparing the ‘Audacity of Potential’ of a 90-minute drive for a new connection to the ‘Bugs and Boundaries’ of his current life, this post explores how our perspective on ‘hitting…
