On being discreet...
As I have mentioned many times in the past, I'm a divorced father of two boys and a girl. We separated in 2000, so my kids have seen me date a few women- and know nothing of a hell of a lot of others that I either dated briefly or just shagged a few times.

I currently have my girlfriend living with me, and had one living with me before her. I imagine that it's pretty obvious to them that I'm not exactly celibate, so I've tried my best to be discreet.

Recently my daughter and I were hiking up a mountain, and I had a long and serious discussion with her about a variety of issues. She told me that it had been a bit awkward over the years to see me with various women, and I acknowledged this. She also commented to me that it was really awkward when it was obvious that we had been having sex.

"Sorry," I replied. "I've been trying my best to be discreet."

"You mean like you and the Lunatic Artist were being 'discrete' last night?"

Damn. I didn't know that the walls were that thin...
