Men in Trees

I don't have a TV, but I have taken to catching up on the "Men in Trees" sitcom via the internet. It occurs to me there are many odd parallels between the show, and my experiences here in Montana. It leads me to wonder...why didn't I write about this stuff long ago. Maybe I could have written a sitcom.

The local bar, where there are mostly men, and burgers. And more scruffy old men. I met my friend Ellis at the local pub, and he proved to be a great swing dancer. If the ladies weren't available, or didn't dare swing with him after his many Seven and Sevens, he would simply pick up a bar stool and dance with it on the dancefloor, swinging it around his back and even dipping it! On some nights, he'd prefer to just go out there, and start doing push-ups on the dancefloor.

And the handsome character Jack, from "Trees", so much reminds me of the man I dated when I first moved here. He was an outdoors man, spiritual, and also had an ex-girlfriend. Only, when the ex-girlfriend came around, she soon became pregnant. And hence, "Jack" went back to his ex to have the baby and get married, as did my ex.

In "Trees", Anne Heche takes on a younger stud muffin with long hair as a live-in roommate. Well, I didn't take on a new roommate, but there was a younger buff man with long hair, who also liked to roam shirtless on many occasions.

So this all leads me to wonder, am I as messed up as the main character in "Trees", or is she really as together as they've recently portrayed her? Let's see if she soon leaves Alaska for a man overseas...
