Editor's Note: Ang and I love men. Trouble is, sometimes (and I'm mostly speaking for myself) we don't know what's going on in their, er um, big heads. That's were Tony Grands from Reading & Writing is For Dumb People comes in. We've been thinking about adding another voice to Proper Talks for awhile now
; why not let it drip testosterone? Of course we've invited Grands to conversate with us for… Read More
