Picture 90.pngBobby Rubin’s D-in-L, Gretchen Rubin, recently wrote a book called “The Happiness Project,” to deal with her “midlife malaise and help others smile more often.” Haven’t read it, but it’s apparently a best-seller and girlfriend seems pretty chipper so presumably it works. One person she’s probably keeping very happy is her husband, Jamie, a senior partner at the private-equity firm BC Partners. Not only because she stinks (some people are into that) but because, in Gretch’s opinion, she’s a fantastic lay.

Rubin is a slender fast-talker who, in the book, describes herself as humorless and ambitious. Among her dislikes, she writes, are talking on the telephone and taking showers. Rubin, who wrote a “Happiness Project” blog while working on the book, said she’s behaving better these days. She relaxes by jumping up and down in her apartment (“my children laugh hysterically”) and participating in book groups she started that read children’s literature. “The Happiness Project” includes 29 pages about money, including the observation that money, used wisely, can help buy happiness. She said seeing a physical therapist who eased her back pain was money well spent. “Whether rich or poor, people make choices about how they spend money, and those choices can boost happiness or undermine it,” she wrote.
But there’s nothing in the book about sex.
“I only talk about the things that I had to work on,” Rubin said.

If you know what she means and I think you do.

    @30 – it starts off like this:
    Me and three year old grandson start tapping together. It is really neat to see, trust me. We are really tearing it up. Then I bend down and we start making out, it is something to see. I mean her we are tapping away while trading spit. And for a three year old, he is a damn good kisser. And this isn't child stuff either, we are getting really hot and heavy. Plenty of tongue, I nibble on his litte ear lobe, he sucks on my bottom lip. He likes the way my five o'clock shadow rubs his cheak. This is all the while we are tapping. It really starts to pick up here.

    A Goldman banker is making it rain in the men's room and contemplating his bonus when a wee, leprechaun-looking fellow with twinkling eyes appears seemingly out of nowhere, steps up to the next urinal, and winks at him. Though his chin barely clears the urinal, he unzips, unfurls an enormous shelaleigh, and starts to relieve himself. The banker is taken aback but a bit awed, and the imp says to him, "All the money in the world won't buy you one like this, but I can use me magic powers to get you one."
    "How's that?" asks the banker, intrigued at the possibilities.
    "Why I'm a leprechaun, don't ya know? Just let me big dick ya for a bit, and then I'll snap my fingers and it'll be done."
    "Well I don't know," says the banker.
    "Aw c'mon now, you know you want one. Think a the girls you'll be havin' with this" says the imp, waggling. "And I promise it won't hurt atall."
    "Allright" says the banker, and they step into a stall.
    So the banker drops his pants and the imp starts in. After a while he asks, "so laddie, what's your name?"
    The banker gasps and whines, "Gary."
    And the imps says, "Now Gary, sure and grown man like yourself doesn't believe in leprechauns?"

    The problem with the superskinny yoga chicks like this (aside from the nipples on a washboard thing) is that there's no cushion to soften the pushin' No way to get any kind of traction or happy rhythm without banging into a protruding hip or worse yet squeezing the buns and just getting bone. It feels like you're boning a concentration camp inmate. Which might work for some, but not me.
