Upping the Ante

You enter the room with a confident swagger. The dealer sizes you up. A crowd starts to gather. You win game after (brilliantly played) game; your adversaries go home losers.

Take a Vow

You swore you’d be a calm bride-to-be. No confrontations with bridesmaids, emotional outbreaks, or obsessive-compulsive behavior that would alarm your future in-laws.

Edge of Reason

In a world of metrosexuals, there’s something to be said for being a man’s man.
