Shamrock SUP Race
The first Shamrock SUP (stand-up paddeboard) Race to benefit Pet Helpers and the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation will be 9 a.m.noon Saturday on the Folly River. “The theme is go green, think green, act green and wear green in the spirit of St. Paddy’s Day,” said Jon Ory of Charleston SUP Safaris, the organizer of the event.

river of green will flow under the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge this evening as hundreds of green-clad runners and walkers participate in the third Catch the Leprechaun 5K held at Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. The event is quickly becoming a St. Patrick’s Day tradition in Charleston as organizers have settled on the Thursday, often the unofficial start of the weekend, before the holiday as its official day. Catch the Leprechaun is as much a St. Patrick’s pre-party as it is a run, with bands Na Fidleiri and A Fragile Tomorrow scheduled to perform, corned beef sandwiches, hot dogs and beer. Co-race director Larry Schrecker said that while the event was capped at 1,200, with the intent to limit it to 1,000, he anticipates people still will be able to register for it today. About 600 had signed up as of a week ago. The cost to participate is $30. Proceeds benefits Pattison’s Academy. Late registration and packet pickup will be held 10 a.m.3 p.m. today at On the Run, 920-A9 Houston Northcutt Blvd. in Mount Pleasant. Registration and packet pickup continues 4-6 p.m. at Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. The race will be held rain or shine. It will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and kick off with bagpipers on parade.

‘21 Jump Street’ may be new, but ‘improved’? movie review
BY ROGER MOORE
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
★★ (out of five stars) DIRECTOR: Phil Lord and Chris Miller CAST: Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Brie Larson, Dave Franco RATED: R, for crude and sexual content, Pervasive language, drug material, teen drinking and some violence. RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion of the film.
I
t was a simpler time, when Johnny Depp was new to Tiger Beat, when hair metal still ruled the airwaves and when Fox was an infant TV network with barely a handful of series — “The Simpsons,” “America’s Most Wanted” and this silly cop confection called “21 Jump Street.” Now, that teen-friendly cop show has been updated and unleashed in the post“Hangover” era — when no joke is out of bounds, no language is too profane, no riff on drugs or sex is too extreme. You’d expect a big-screen version of “21 Jump Street,” the TV series that made Depp famous, to be a joke. And it is — a raunchy, violent and potty-mouthed farce that straddles the middle ground between “Starsky & Hutch” and “Superbad.” It’s “Project X” with pistols. The cute young cops here aren’t Tiger Beat-cute the way Depp and co-stars Holly Robinson and Peter DeLuise were. And they’re selfaware. They’re incompetent, and they know it. New to the force, they haven’t even memorized the Miranda Rights speech. “They always cut away on TV before they finish!”
SCOTT GARFIELD/COLUMBIA PICTURES/MCT
Jonah Hill (left) and Channing Tatum star in the Columbia Pictures action comedy “21 Jump Street.” Jenko (Channing Tatum) complains. In high school, he was the popular, handsome jock who “didn’t learn a thing” during his years there. Poor Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was the insecure, nonathletic brainiac who always choked when the chips were down — asking a girl to the prom, for instance. Jenko used to pick on Schmidt. But when they help each other get through the police academy, they become best
buds. And being, as the captain in charge (Ice Cube) puts it, “Justin Bieber/Miley Cyrus-looking,” they’re naturals for the revival of an old program — putting baby-faced cops back into high school to hunt down the dealers and suppliers of a deadly new drug — HFS. Nobody will suspect them, the chief assures them: “They’re teenagers, man. They’re really stupid.” Jenko is set to slide back into the Prom King status he
enjoyed just a few years before, with Schmidt doomed to relive his chemistry whiz nobody liked — “Embrace your stereotypes!” But the idiots botch their assumed identities. Schmidt is now the alleged jock, Jenko the brains. And high school has changed in the seven years since they graduated. The enviro-nerd (Dave Franco) is king of the cool kids. Caring about schoolwork is cool, drama club is cool and picking on a
gay kid isn’t. (Jenko blames “Glee!” in one of the movie’s funniest and filthiest lines.) And even though they have only three basic rules to adhere to — find the supplier, don’t get expelled and don’t sleep with students or faculty — Jenko and Schmidt, alias Doug and Chad, mess things up. The co-directors of the adorably irreverent and sweet animated hit “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” stick pretty close to formula here. Characters may joke about how lame it is to keep recycling old ideas in police work (and movies), but that doesn’t mean they don’t embrace it. Hill does his usual chubbywhite-kid-talking-ghetto smack. But Tatum (“The Vow”), given the chance to cut up and cut loose, dives into this head-first, mocking his good looks and playing the male bimbo thing to the max. Jenko’s report to the captain about high school
today being the reverse of when jocks like him ran the show is angry, wounded and hilarious. “It’s backwards and wrong and it must be stopped!” Having the hunk hang out with science and sci-fi geeks — “KNEEL before Zod!” — is funny. Having the lovelorn nerd fall for his drama club “Peter Pan” co-star (Brie Larson) isn’t. Like high school itself, “21 Jump Street” hits the wall about halfway in, and even prom night can’t save it. It relies on profane tirades from Ice Cube (funny, you have to admit), yet another teen party that gets out of hand and over-the-top violence, and loses track of these two guys living the reverse of their high school days. And joking about how lame it is to recycle formulas, stereotypes and movie cliches doesn’t excuse you from using them as crutches, one after the other.

‘Being Flynn’ full of good intentions but tries too hard
582 Rutledge Ave. • Charleston, SC 29403 Marshall Walker, Broker In Charge
BY BETSY SHARKEY
Los Angeles Times
I
t’s not easy “Being Flynn.” Not for Jonathan Flynn, the absentee alcoholic father played by Robert De Niro, nor the restless twentysomething son Nick, played by Paul Dano, the estranged pair at the heart of this darkly tangled family drama where resolution is hard to come by and satisfaction — for them or us — is not a guarantee. Both Flynns fancy themselves writers, De Niro’s Jonathan forever pontificating about the masterpiece that’s almost finished; Dano’s Nick not sure his scribbled observations have any merit. Regardless, it makes for dialogue of an elevated nature when, 18 years after Jonathan dropped out of Nick’s life, he drops back in, leaving Nick to figure out whether having a father in the picture is better or worse than anything he’d imagined. “Being Flynn” is based on author-poet Nick Flynn’s searing memoir, “Another (expletive) Night in (expletive) City.” Its theme of fraught times between fathers and sons is very much in the wheelhouse of Paul Weitz, who co-directed the bittersweet 2002 “About a Boy” with brother Chris (“A Better Life”). After his last project, the broad comedic family nonsense of 2010’s “Little Fockers,” Paul Weitz has dialed things down considerably for “Being Flynn,” writing and directing with an earnest sensitivity that at times suits, at times undermines, the complexities of the story at hand. Set in Boston, it begins with Nick haphazardly trying to start his life. Sharing converted warehouse space with a couple of guys

echoing the general sense of the film’s moody blues. There are other relationships in Nick’s life, with Olivia Thirlby as on-and-off friend and lover Denise. But Jonathan’s presence overshadows it all and threatens to overwhelm the film. Sometimes De Niro nails the self-involvement of a man descending deeper into an alcoholic haze, but at other times his narcissistic rants turn into caricaturist extremes. Dano, all lanky lassitude, at times struggles in the face of that gale force wind. When he doesn’t, Nick begins to take shape and you see the mix of vulnerability and steel that have made the actor such a winning presence in films as different as “There Will Be Blood” and “Little Miss Sunshine.” But for all its good intentions and talented performers and filmmakers, “Being Flynn” leaves you feeling as if everyone is trying a little too hard. Sometimes less really is more.

St. Patrick’s Day:
A day of fun for everyone BY ALLISON NUGENT
anugent@postandcourier.com
E
rin Go Bragh! For those of you who aren’t of Irish descent, that translates to “Ireland Forever!” And that’s what St. Patrick’s Day is all about, right? OK, maybe not completely, but it’s definitely a big part of the holiday. Another big part of the holiday is that we Irish share our traditions, colors and beer with all who wish to honor our fair state. True, some look with disdain on those who celebrate and don’t have Guinness running through their veins, but I’m pretty sure Saint Patrick (the man this holiday is all about) wouldn’t approve of that attitude. So we set it aside and go with the motto “Everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day“ ... or at least they wish they were. Kidding. St. Patrick’s Day is meant to be celebrated by all, and if you can’t make it to the cities that dye the river green or to the Emerald Isle itself, Charleston offers a lot of great options to celebrate the day. Slainte!

There were no superstar record executives then, so we were able to play what we wanted and there was so much room for everyone.” That independence led to the unconventional opening of their albums with the reading of poems written by Edge.

stuck with the disco label with ‘Staying Alive’ and the platform shoes image,” Edge said. With time, the band’s sound did evolve with changes to its lineup and as technology advanced with multiple tracking and overdubbing. However, this also led to the band’s recorded songs being difficult to replicate live. When the band took an extended break from the constant touring and the recording of seven albums in seven years, Pinder left the band, though he did contribute to 1978’s “Octave” album. The band added ex-Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz for the tour. This led to The Moody Blues entering the ’80s with a more raw sound. “We had a more relaxed attitude and were less rigid,” Edge said. The result was the album “Long Distance Voyager,” which topped the Billboard album charts and produced
five singles. The band continued its success with 1986’s “The Other Side of Life” album and the single “Your Wildest Dreams.” As the core three members of the band — Edge, Lodge and Hayward — have been together so long and have regularly toured, pretour rehearsals consisted of only three sessions. “We have never needed extended practice to have everything come together and produce a tight live sound. We have always loved playing live, and showing off to the audience is the best,” Edge said. When asked what has most changed through the decades of touring, without hesitation Edge blurted, “The volume of the sound is much lower! We used to have stacks and stacks of Marshall

Now the audience can appreciate the details and nuances in our music.” The show will include the band’s big hits, as Edge joked, “We might not get out alive if we didn’t play the hits and old stuff.” With the tour celebrating the anniversary of “Days Of Future Passed,” the band will feature several tracks from that work while also playing tunes that represent their other albums. “We vary the set list, as it gets boring playing the same songs each and every night,” Edge said. Edge said he sees so much nostalgia looking into the audience with multiple generations of fans in the crowd. “When we see a couple turning to each other saying, ‘This is our song,’ it can be overwhelming,” Edge said. Edge also is releasing a book of poetry that will be available for purchase exclusively on the tour. The book includes lyrics from the band’s albums, stories of their recordings and a poem to his then-young son, who is now 36. The Charleston concert includes a specialpackage option that includes a ticket, merchandise package, backstage and onstage tour and early access to the merchandise booth.

For the past several years, Planned Parenthood has held a wildly successful art show fundraiser called “Re-Nude.” A play on words with “renewed,” the theme of the show is about seeing things from a new perspective, and yes, many of the works featured are figurative pieces.

Expect to see works from Jill Hooper, Tim Hussey, Hirona Matsuda, Liz Vaughan, Dorothy Netherland, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Yoder, Sally King Benedict, Kate Long Stevenson, Kirsten Moran, Janie Askew, Dee Rhodes, Lynn Hamontree and Johnny Pundt, among others. “Our goals for the evening are to raise funds for the local health center, as well as to educate the public about the services the center provides and offer them a statistical overview of the health issues that plague our local community,” said event organizer Leila Davenport Ross.

Fashion Week packs punch BY SETH McCORMICK COOKE || Special to The Post and Courier
S
tarting out as a small group of local shops and brands showing in Marion Square in 2007, Charleston Fashion Week quickly has become one of the premier fashion events in the Southeast. Now hosting upcoming local talent as well as designers from all over, the event also features celebrity judges and fashion insiders who participate in the industry all over the globe. Ayoka Lucas, Charleston Magazine style editor and CFW creative director, has taken the bull by the horns. In a nutshell, CFW showcases emerging designers and model talent from across the East Coast. This year’s CFW will feature five nights with more than 30 runway shows. In addition to the competition for Emerging Designers, there will be a model competition and Spring Bridal Show. Confusing as it may be, some of the shows that are part of CFW will showcase fall collections. Much like the shows that just wrapped in New York, Paris and Milan, the Charleston fashion calendar has to be ahead of the seasons. What’s shown now for fall will take time to produce and for buyers to select for stores, and, therefore, the show is a sneak peek at what you will wear months from now.
From NYC to CHS
Fern Mallis, widely credited as the creator of New York Fashion Week, returns this year as part of the Emerging Designer judging panel after being impressed with the city and the event’s organizers last year. “I applaud this team for the hard work they do to create an event that brings energy and excitement to the city. I’ve always been supportive about people who are passionate about what they do, and it’s always good to see what is happening outside of the world we work in every day,” Mallis said in an interview with Charleston Scene. Although smaller fashion weeks can be overlooked by

national and international media, Mallis said, “Smaller regional fashion weeks like CFW are important for business morale and expressing the creativity of designers who would not get recognized in bigger markets like New York. I see CFW as an off-Broadway debut where designers can gain the experience and produce a great show before debuting their collections in bigger markets.”
Insider perspective
Chris Benz, a fashion designer known for his use of color and print, recently talked about what it’s like to be a designer and gave advice to the next wave of talent. “No matter where you are, Charleston included, it’s about staying true to yourself and finding your own voice. What makes your fashion design special? ‘Who is the Chris Benz girl?’ ‘Where is she going?’ ‘What is she like?’ Every collection has that answered. What do you look like as a designer?” He also went on to say that his own collections are influenced by his history and time growing up in Seattle. It’s something

that attracted the designer to Charleston and enticed him to join the panel of judges at CFW. “I think outside of New York City, one of the things that is really special is that people can really highlight the regional aspect of design. ... The aesthetic is more provincial in a lot of ways. It can really show what is attractive in a specific place.” Fashion design is not all glamour and inspiration though. When Benz spoke with Charleston Scene, he was in the middle of refitting samples for production. It’s a grueling task that takes long hours and total concentration.
All events are at Marion Square unless noted. For details, go to www.charleston fashionweek.com. The Style Lounge and Bar is open until 11 p.m. each night.

Judges
This year, the judges panel is more exciting than ever. In addition to Benz and Mallis, we will see former Charleston area resident Vanessa Lachey, Mychael Knight, Lindsey Carter, Cameron Silver, K. Cooper Ray and Anne Slowey at the judges table. Benz and Mallis both said they would reference their own experience in the fashion industry as they work with the other judges to narrow down the winners of the Emerging Designer contest. “Producing numerous runway shows over many years certainly helps one fine-tune their vision and ability to separate the mediocre from the real talent,” Mallis said. “Also the many years of sitting and talking to buyers, editors and critics has enabled me to better understand what they as professionals are looking for and what will generally succeed.” Benz agrees and thinks that everyone brings their own skillset into play, which reaffirms “the things you know and use every day in your own work. For me, I understand all the things that go into making clothes that maybe an editor might

take for granted and can use that to understand the designer.”
New this year
CFW is having a Pop-Up Shop this year that will offer apparel from Indigo and Cotton, Suite 33, Coral Custom Swimwear and other local shops. You can pick up the latest trends and fashions as well as the official CFW T-shirt. The shop will be open 11 a.m.-3 p.m. TuesdayFriday. In addition to the Pop-Up Shop, Baker Motor Co. has partnered with CFW to offer the Circle of Champions Luncheon and Fashion Show. The event will be held in Marion Square and feature a runway show by Pearl boutique with courses prepared by chefs Sean Brock of McCrady’s and Husk, Mike Lata of FIG and Michelle Weaver of Charleston Grill. All proceeds from the $125 ticket price benefit the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital Fund.

It’s a party
Believe it or not, Charleston Fashion Week is not just about the fashion on the runway. Each night after the runway show, guests get a chance to flaunt their style at the after-party. Each night features a different type of venue, from The Cocktail Club to the S.C. Aquarium, with a different theme from Boardwalk Empire to Dance/ Glow. Also, Hampden Clothing will host a soiree in conjunction with CFW celebrating featured designer Benz at the King Street shop. And let’s not forget all the after-after-parties that will be happening a little more spur of the moment. It may be small when compared with Milan or Paris, but Charleston Fashion Week packs a punch and promises to be more cutting edge and influential this year than ever before.

his Saturday, folks in the Lowcountry have a chance to see two of the best American songwriters out there, as Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt bring their co-headlining tour to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. It’s an interesting pairing. While both men attract similar fans, mainly those who enjoy Americana and country, they definitely have their own distinct styles when it comes to songwriting. As popular as his music is in the U.S., Lovett still is often identified in news stories for his unusual physical features or as “that guy who was married to Julia Roberts.” While Lovett was indeed Mr. Julia Roberts for almost two years in the ’90s and has even dabbled in acting himself, it is his music that attracts most fans. Lovett is far too often pigeonholed as a country artist; the truth is that he incorporates elements of country, folk, jazz, big band and R&B into his work. Lovett likes to tell stories with his songs, and his dry wit is on display in tunes such as “If I Had a Boat,” “Church” and “Penguins.” Lovett has released 14 albums and won four Grammy Awards. Your kids have likely even been exposed to Lovett’s music thanks to his collaboration with Randy Newman on “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” for the Pixar animated feature “Toy Story.” While his albums are popular, it is in a live setting where Lovett really shines, especially when he performs with His Large Band, which

Bruce Springsteen
WRECKING BALL/COLUMBIA
These are strange and uncertain times. You know it, I know it and Bruce Springsteen definitely wants us to know that he knows it, too. On his most angry, political and cautiously optimistic album since “The Rising,” The Boss gets a few things off his chest with an album that has echoes of that previous 9/11themed release while also employing a few of the tricks he learned from covering Pete Seeger’s music.
A+
The insistent “We Take Care of Our Own” opens the album with a sound that equals many of the great E Street Band performances. While Springsteen employs some of his famous backing band, as well as other artists such as Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, this is a Springsteen solo affair. That first track beautifully lays the album’s groundwork. “Easy Money” and “Shackled and Drawn” delve into the realm of Seeger and Woody Guthrie with their stark yet cautiously optimistic themes. One of the album’s best tracks, “Jack of All Trades,” perfectly sums up the feelings that haunt
The Bad Popes
mediocre first track, comes to play on that and several other great tunes on the album. The Greenville-based band features Bagwell, TOWN & COUNTRY/INDEPENDENT drummer Joe Cash, guitarists Jef Chandler and Charles Hedgepath and bassist Chris Garrett. I have to admit that while listening to “One More,” the first song on The Bad Popes’ new CD, Most of the guys have been playing together since 2002 (Cash joined in 2010), and throughout the “Town & Country,” I wasn’t overly impressed. Sure, it’s a nice enough song per- remainder of “Town & Country,” the band shows its eclectic side, playing original songs in styles formed in a fairly straightforward rock that range from Texas swing (“Catch 22”) to style, but it seemed kind of uninspired. Grateful Dead-inspired jam rock (“Anna Dean”) Fortunately for everyone, things pick up radiand a great blues/R&B groove (“Ghosts”). cally on track two, “Catch 22.” The pedal steel As a matter of fact, the deeper you get into guitar playing of band member Mike Bagwell, “Town & Country,” the more you realize that this which was relegated to the background of that
B+
those affected by the economic downturn with the heartbreakingly simple chorus, “I’m a Jack of all trades, we’ll be all right.” The rest of the album doesn’t let up on the serious subject matter, nor on the song quality. In much the same way that “Born to Run” and “Born in the USA” resonated with listeners in the ’70s and ’80s, respectively, so does “Wrecking Ball” in this second decade of the new millennium. Even someone who isn’t necessarily a Springsteen fan can’t argue against the power contained in the album’s 13 songs. KEY TRACKS: “We Take Care of Our Own,” “Jack of All Trades,” “Land of Hope and Dreams”
is a band that isn’t afraid to experiment, and because of that, even the first track gets elevated a few notches. After all, it’s better to have tried and fallen short than never to have tried. The Bad Popes’ willingness to dabble in multiple styles results in a winning collection of songs from a group of very talented artists. Hear them for yourself as the band plays locally at Awendaw Green’s barn jam Wednesday before moving on to shows at both Home Team BBQ locations and Surf Bar on Folly. KEY TRACKS: “Catch 22,” “Anna Dean,” “I Can’t Get Over You”

ACE’S ON BRIDGE
By BOBBY WOLFF
Today’s deal is all about focusing on the possible things that can go wrong in your four-heart game. Some of them will doom you whatever you do; others will present you with a roadblock that you can hurdle. See which problems you think you can overcome. Of course, the points at issue are bad breaks in the red suits. Againstfour hearts,West leads the two top spades and shifts to the club nine. What now? If diamonds break or the jack falls singleton, you will have nothing to worry about but possible bad trump breaks. What can you do about bad diamond breaks? Not much if West has the shortage, but what if East is the one with short diamonds?
The answer is that a 4-1 diamond break will not be fatal — so long as you are careful. Win the club ace, play the diamond queen, then lead the diamond three toward the king. If diamonds prove to be 3-2, draw three rounds of trump and hope they are no worse than 42. But when East has short diamonds (as here), he cannot profitably ruff in, so he may as well pitch a spade. You win the diamondking,crosstodummywith the heart ace and lead another diamond. Again East discards, so you win the ace. Now you can ruff a diamond in dummy. Whether East overruffs with his trump trick or discards, you will lose only one trump trick and have 10 winners.

Wife lacks respect for storytelling man
Will the luck of the Irish help you with trivia?

BY REBEKAH BRADFORD || Special to The Post and Courier
O
ver the years, St. Patrick’s Day has grown into one of this country’s most popular holidays to celebrate, and it doesn’t even matter if you’re Irish or not. Just pick a bar (an Irish pub is better, but really any bar will do) and drink some Guinness. This week, we have two new contestants since current champ Sara Villarreal is taking the week off. Friends Brianna Lewis and Cassie Welch are going Head2Head.
GRACE BEAHM/STAFF
Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like a perfectly poured pint of Guinness. Slainte!
QUESTIONS
1. In Irish lore, what profession does a Leprechaun have? 2. What colors are the Irish flag? 3. Name the traditional language of Ireland. 4. What does kissing the Blarney Stone supposedly get rid of? 5. What Irish plant is meant to represent the Trinity used by Christians? 6. According to myth, which of the following — lizards, snakes or scorpions — did St. Patrick remove from Ireland? 7. What is whiskey made from potatoes called? 8. Name the American city that held the first St. Patrick’s Day parade/celebration in this country. 9. What does “Erin go Bragh” mean? 10. Which of the following actors is not Irish: Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan or Colin Farrell?
BRIANNA’S ANSWERS
1. Guarding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 2. Orange. Green. White. 3. Irish. 4. Being single. 5. Because the only Irish plant I know is a shamrock, that’s what I’m going with. 6. Snakes. 7. Is there such a thing? I have no idea. 8. Philadelphia. 9. Go Ireland. 10. Mmm, Colin Farrell. Sorry, I got distracted. Sean Connery.
CONCLUSION Brianna and Cassie had a lot of fun with this week’s edition of Head2Head, but there can be only one trivia champ. Therefore, with one more correct answer than her friend, Cassie emerges as the winner and will compete next week in a champion’s edition when Villarreal comes back.
CASSIE’S ANSWERS
1. He’s the Notre Dame mascot. Go Irish! 2. Green, white and orange. 3. It’s Gaelic, right? 4. (Laughing) Warts. 5. A shamrock. 6. I think snakes, but I’m not sure. 7. Disgusting? 8. Boston or New York. I can’t decide. 9. It’s one of those things you hear but have no idea what it actually means. 10. Isn’t Sean Connery Scottish?
CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Shoemaker 2. Green, orange and white 3. Gaelic 4. Shyness 5. Shamrock
6. Snakes 7. Poteen 8. Boston 9. “Ireland forever” 10. Sean Connery
EAR ABBY: My husband, “Sam,” and I have been married for 32 years, and all these years he has lied continually. It has gotten so bad that I cringe every time we’re invited to family functions or get-togethers with friends. Sam uses these gatherings to be the star of the show, spilling out the most outrageous whoppers you can imagine. My family knows when he’s lying or exaggerating about something. They roll their eyes and nudge me to let me know they know. Sam fabricates the most outlandish stories and never owns up to anything he has done wrong. Instead he blames me or others for his actions. If I confront or challenge him, he gets defensive and says I’m “always” belittling or challenging him in front of others. Abby, even though I still care for this man, I don’t have the respect I wish I had for him. What can I do? — DISENCHANTED IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT DEAR DISENCHANTED: After 32 years, there is nothing you can do about it. Your husband has a personality problem — probably related to insecurity — that causes him to lie to get attention. It’s pathetic, really. However, to embarrass him by pointing it out in front of others is cruel and unproductive. Until he’s ready to admit to himself that he has damaged his credibility so badly that no one believes a word he says, nothing will change. DEAR ABBY: My close friend, “Kate,” has just told me she’s getting a divorce. She confided that she cheated on her husband, “Phil,” and says she doesn’t want to try to work on her marriage even though they have a baby together. Kate says that Phil is a great father and
DEAR ABBY he’s not abusive — she just doesn’t love him anymore. This came as a shock to me, and I’m not sure how to be supportive. When I divorced, my husband was the one who cheated and left me, so I know how Kate’s husband feels. I know I should be sympathetic to her, but I don’t know what to say. Can you help? — TRYING NOT TO JUDGE DEAR TRYING: Continue trying not to judge. It is understandable that you’d identify with Kate’s husband since his position is so similar to what you experienced. If you know and like him, befriend him. I’m sure he could use a friend right now. However, before you do, ask Kate if she would mind. As to your question about what to say to her, all you really need to do is acknowledge her announcement by saying, “I’m sorry to hear it. I hope you have given it careful consideration.” Period. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.
