(Sophia Lansky)
Sophia was concerned that many of my readers were implying that this “Sophia” I’m always writing about is just a figment of my imagination. So, true to form, she sprung into action and took this photo of herself with her cell phone while she was stuck in traffic on the 405.
So there! She exists. Not everything on my blog is a lie.
Bad Maria: huh?
Tatyana – Brava!!! I think you should print that on J-date for him!
The purpose of your blog was to meet women??? Neil Neil Neil…..you need to be smacked upside the head. Writing is done on blogs….dating is done out in the world! Silly boy. Get off the computer if you want to meet chicks!
Don’t get off the computer and get out in the world. You have Sophia’s number… Just use it.
Plus, how would we entertain ourselves if you left?
Ok.. I don’t know where Jack is but I’m plannin’ a trip there to kick some butt.
ACG,
I am in Los Angeles but I don’t fear you because with that tremendous logic you’ll probably get lost on the freeway and never find me. Of course you might run into Sophia who apparently is trapped in a slow moving vehicle. Say hello for me and tell her that her paycheck is on the way from the agency, we have to make sure that our boy Neil maintains his image.
Bad Maria,
I am inclined to refer to you by your initials, but I’ll decline in the interest of not pissing off more people right now.
But you never know, I may respond with those letters in the future.
don’t they have car services and taxis out in LA?
I heard no one walks out there.
She’s not real! she’s my sister!
To Neil and the very good Maria!
I should elaborate on my formidable comment. It’s leftover from my 7th grade gym class. Someone called me formidable and they didn’t mean it in the nice way you all do.
Neil, I’m not your mom…fess up

Maybe the same goes for telling a complicated story on a blog.
Love and marriage are such big issues — I had to turn to the masters to speak for me.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

It is most unwise for people in love to marry.

Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.

Ah Mozart! He was happily married – but his wife wasn’t.

TWM, ekramer (mom-in-law), NJ, Nancy French, leese, modigli, Edgy Mama – thanks for the compliments.
I am always a little leery to comment on Neil’s blog because:
a) I am tempted to give away his secrets
b) I don’t want to stop anyone from flirting with him
c) I often want to scream at everyone for taking his very funny semi-fiction as an account of true events (especially when it concerns me.)
Besides, I was worried that my presence might turn his female readers off. Now that I see that it’s quite the opposite
– hello!
The separation questions are Neil’s to answer or not, but you could care about someone and love them to pieces and still not be a good marriage match. Or could you?
End of speech.
Ladies — flirt on,
Jack — the camera phone is a Nokia,
mrsmogul — I am your sister? Do tell. It would be nice to have a pied-a-terre in London.
She’s quite a beauty! Thanks for your comment on my blog today…I see we have lots of blogfriends in common!
Whew. She is totally admirable in her ability to take a great photo, and one in traffic no less!
>>but you could care about someone and love them to pieces and still not be a good marriage match. Or could you?
Yes, you guys can make it work.
Jeepers kamolie Neil, look whatchu started!
Marriage is indeed complicated, even after you’re divorced, Sophia, do you subscribe to the Oscar Wilde philosphy?…(and I paraphrase)…talk shit about me as long as you talk about me….? ah, the trouble I’m in, from my ex, and now possibly from you…yes, my darlings, it is 100% possible to adore someone and be completely unsuitable for marriage…I feel your angst…
i’m away from the computer for a few hours and this is what happens! reading through all of it just isn’t the same…did i miss the part where we actually find out WHY they are separated?!
What I learned today from my post:
Marriage is difficult.
Being separated is difficult.
People find Sophia as sexy as I do.
Sophia is reading a lot more books with fancy quotes now that she’s on her own.
Sophia’s Noklia cell phone has a good camera.
A blog is a bad matchmaking tool, especially when you blog about your wife.
I’m probably not going to have the opportunity to sleep with any of my female readers any time soon.
My male readers wish I’d get back to talking about sexy women other than Sophia.
Susan is easily distracted at her job.
Bloggers are nosy people.
Darn my job keeping me away from all the good stuff!
Sofia, now that I’ve seen you I still have a blog crush on you, you sexy thang.
Neil, I gotta agree with ACG. From the very first time I read mention of Sophia, I thought you guys sounded made for each other. I bet you drive each other crazy and then have great make up sex (but please do NOT tell us about it!). I think it is now official: I can’t sleep with you because of all this. Damn, and we don’t live all that far apart.
(I still want to know how old you were when you lost your virginity; I’ll tell you my age if you tell me yours!)
Sophia is adorable! I think that about R sometimes – I was so glad when my NYC blogger friends met him in NYC so they could see he’s alive, ALIVE!
I am a jealous Leo…I’ve been pouting since the erotica post.
