1. Today is couple appreciation day. What do you most appreciate about being a couple (consider current or past relationships)
I appreciate emotional intimacy (and physical intimacy as well). I appreciate support and expressions of care. I appreciate consistency and reliability. I appreciate the ability to open up and be completely honest without fear of rejection or betrayal.

2. It is also Global Love Day. How can you or how will you extend love today?
By being there for the people I love, and demonstrating my feelings with words as well as actions. I’ll also do my best to be pleasant and welcoming in order to show the people with whom I interact but do not necessarily love – think random people I may encounter on the street – that they are important.

3. May 1 is loyalty day as well, originally it had to do with patriotism in the United States. That meaning aside, in what ways are you loyal?
I demonstrate loyalty by always supporting those who matter to me. I make sure I am there when I am needed, I keep my word when I give it, and I never let those to whom I am loyal doubt my position. I am not loyal by blindly following a destructive, hate-filled megalomaniac who should be in prison.

4. So it seems today is also Phone In Sick day. When is the last time you phoned in sick? Were you really sick? How did you spend the “sick” day?
My last sick day was more than a dozen years ago, as I’ve been self-employed since then. I have no idea why I took a sick day, but for the sake of making this answer interesting, I’ll say that while on my lunch break I met a gorgeous, leggy brunette at a cafe near work, and called my supervisor to say I had food poisoning and wouldn’t be back to work that day. Then I took her back to my apartment for sex. I realize that this is technically a sick half-day, but it’s probably the most exciting story I could’ve come up with so deal with it, I guess.

5. May 1, 1840 the world’s first adhesive postage stamp was issued in the United Kingdom. Who would you like to see on a postage stamp?
Donald Trump, but the stamp must be in commemoration of his conviction and imprisonment on charges of treason. If not, I’m not interested.

Bonus: How was your first day of May?
Fairly typical not only for the first day of May, but just about any weekday. Worked out, ran some errands, flirted with beautiful women via text, instant messenger, or other virtual means, and played with my kid. Can’t really complain.

I appreciate being able to cuddle, feel supported, spend time with the other person, and enjoy intimacy not limited to kissing and sex.

2. It is also Global Love Day. How can you or how will you extend love today?
I will extend love by reaching out to others to remind them how important their presence is in my life.

3. May 1 is loyalty day as well, originally it had to do with patriotism in the United States. That meaning aside, in what ways are you loyal?
I am loyal to my family and friends. I’m always someone who can be counted on to follow through or be there when needed.

4. So it seems today is also Phone In Sick day. When is the last time you phoned in sick? Were you really sick? How did you spend the “sick” day?
I last called in sick last Wednesday. My flight home was delayed and I missed my connection, which caused me to spend the night in an airport far from home. I spent my “sick” day flying home, sleeping, and playing with both my daughter and husband (albeit in different ways).

Me! Because everybody should have the opportunity to lick my backside.

Bonus: How was your first day of May?
Work was crazy, but the massage to which I treated myself after work was so wonderful. Overall, my day was terrific!
