It’s hard to write a story about being cool when you’re not cool.

But I’ll try.

I used to be cool. I think.

Dyed my hair black. Wore green contacts. Tried to make my skin look lighter. Hey, Snow White was cool.

So, what is cool now?

Well, as someone who has been on the receiving end of the rolling-of-the-eye looks from an 11-year-old, I can tell you, I am not.

I can also tell you that eleven is the new 16.

And 16 is the new cool.

Meg Morrison, Gillette Drafted 2 contestant
Dear Meg,

I must say, you handled the whole Drafted situation in quite the classy way, especially for someone who professes to think of Launy as a “great guy.”

Yes. I read your blog entry, and now hope you will read mine. It’s okay if you don’t read this however, because it - and you - will be exposed to enough eyeballs regardless.

Really, I am probably not supposed to write you about this, as it involves my husband. In actuality, I have to write you about this, as it involves my husband.

The Little Couple: Bill & Jen
If you haven’t already watched The Little Couple on TLC, allow me to explain the brilliant concept behind this show: It focuses on the everyday life of a dwarf couple.

If you haven’t already watched shows on TLC, allow me to explain the brilliant concept behind the network: it focuses on super tall, super skinny or super obese people, and, of course, lest we forget, super fertile, and super medically-induced fertile people. But mostly it’s either about people who make cakes, cupcakes or confection - little people who make cakes, cupcakes or confection - or little people in general.

I say, enough with the over-tall and extra-small. It is time for average. Allow me to present my official pitch to TLC, The Medium Couple: starring, Dahlia Kurtz and Launy Schwartz.

So my husband is vying to become Canada’s next sportscaster as a finalist in the Score’s national reality show Gillette Drafted 2.

You can see his bio, you can see his audition, and you can even see a bunch of cool video interviews he’s done with big name hockey players and celebrities – but what you can’t and haven’t seen are his secrets…

Until now.

As his wife of two years, girlfriend of three before that, and friend of two before that, I have special access to that which he hides from you. (And as a friend, before being a girlfriend, that gave great access to ex-girlfriend info as well.)
