Alright, I admit it. It?s a nasty habit I acquired from working in New York City. I read the NY Post (often before the WSJ)! It keeps me in good humor to read about the latest fiascos among the Hamptons crowd. Like Icarus, even a G5 has to come down some day, I always say.

But today was a shock! The headline read: Cuckold ?Sore? at his Wife. To my dismay, said cuckold was my former partner and ski buddy (I won?t republish his name here). Apparently he is suing his estranged wife and her lover for giving him an STD.  Even the father-in-law is involved somehow.

Now I have to ask, what do you do when you read something like this? I looked up Emily Post but couldn?t find a good analog. Do you call? Ask how he?s doing? Send flowers? Next week the firm is having its annual worldwide partners? meeting. All I can say, there?s another reason I?m glad I don?t go to those anymore!
