And then writing about it. I think you need to spend a little less time at work and a little more time watching TV with Jessica. And then writing about it.

It exists: See www.almost40virgin.blogspot.com (And no, I don't know the guy.) By the way, I apologize for the bad Mormon joke in my novel - it was meant to show the character was ignorant; sorry if it made the book not Mormon safe. Apologies.

We had him over for dinner, and it turned into a 3 hour grill session where we asked him all kinds of questions, and he was happy to talk about it. He was pretty messed up from his childhood. Anyway, I guess in his family some of them were leading double lives--as in, like this guy's grandfather, went to Mormon church, had temple recommends (for which he lied), was a prominent business person, and nobody knew a thing about his massive wives and children, until his funeral. But, he shouldn't 'a been Mormon and wouldn't 'a been Mormon if he hadn't been living a lie. Steve actually reminded me of a person we knew in Tucson who had grown up in a polygamous family in SLC.

What makes you think they weren't, anyway? By the way, from what I know of Utah polygamists, they are not racy in any fashion, so sounds like the show is not tremendously accurate.
