Be the Best Ex-Husband You Can





There’s this guy, a banker, who rides with me a lot, usually to the airport. He loves his family, but his wife just threw him out. “Why?” I ask. He doesn’t know. Of course, he does know, but he’s not telling me. Now, he wants to get his wife back. How? Above all, he should be supportive and considerate. He should give her space, he should accept whatever choices she makes. He should be the best dad and the best ex-husband. In other words, he should do what he should have done when they were together. If she ever considers taking him back it will be because she appreciates all he’s doing for his family and that he is showing consideration for her. Will he do it? Probably not. He’s a guy. We’re stupid.



Bill to the Rescue


Speaking of guys, Bill Clinton is in North Korea trying to arrange the release of those two US journalists, both women, who were arrested for spying (they had a camera, eh). I think Bill is going to be able to get them out. This is one guy who really knows how to say ‘sorry’.



Moisturize


New Canadian research shows drinking even a moderate amount of beer and spirits can increase the risk of some cancers. Heavy drinking can move the risk up to 80 per cent or more. Wine? They’re not sure. The risk of colon, stomach and prostate cancer was about 80 per cent higher among heavy drinkers, while lung cancer risk rose by almost 60 per cent.  So, some advice before you get out of the cab. Cut back on the booze, stop smoking, exercise, eat dark chocolate and use a good moisturizer. It will give you that cherub look, like me.
