SO I DONATED BLOOD TODAY — no picture, because, once again, I neglected to take a camera. On the other hand, I’ve probably gotten all the mileage I can out of the blood-donation photo op already. This time it was at my gym where they were having a blood drive, and, as is often the case, I was the only male donating. If I were single, I think I’d donate more often — there are lots of young, attractive women there, they’re presumptively healthy and probably somewhat altruistic, and it’s natural to strike up a conversation since they keep you waiting a lot. (I chatted with a lovely oncology nurse today). I didn’t really start giving blood until after I got married, so this is all academic to me, but you single guys out there take note. And besides, it’s embarrassing that men are so underrepresented.
