Long-time readers will be interested to learn that tonight I met the frequent commenter of my blog, Jman.
We met at a bar he recommended in Times Square, and he ordered us delicious champagne. It was great to finally put a face and learn more about the man who has left so many witty and supportive comments on my blog over the last couple years.
Although I know some were hoping he was the elusive ideal man for me, it turns out he's married, with a grown son of his own. He asked me many questions about my background, both prior to the blog and the scoop on things I've blogged about. And although I learned more about him as well, I will respect his online anonymity and not broadcast too much.
One thing I forgot to ask: what is it about my blog that he finds interesting enough to come back and keep commenting?

It is a combination of your realness, a certain level of human drama without melodrama and that you are not full of yourself. Oh and that you find me funny. It's a tough audience out there!
What I would like to know is whether jman has a blog of his own (or would consider starting one)? He is obviously intelligent and witty. It would be a fun read. How about it, jman?
