Scott Roman takes his personal experience of viewing adult material over the years and compares to the 'good old days' when they 'don't make them like that anymore' to today's explosion for every passing fantasy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Agony of Purchase: Scott Roman takes you into his thought process when he decides to purchase something. He goes into the thought process of why he does what he does when he decides to purchase the most common of items. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCall it the lost art of delayed gratification, or obsessing that there's something better out there, or just indecision there's no such thing as a routine purchase in Scott Roman's world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutomotive Correctness: Using what he thinks he knows about cars Scott Roman takes you through his attempts at some basic automotive repairs. After reading this story you'll know why he isn't a mechanic by trade or why you wouldn't ask him for any help over the weekend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunday's at the Beach: Scott Roman takes his family to beach almost every Sunday during the summer months. In Sunday's at the Beach you can go with him and his family while they meander through a small Wisconsin lake town on their Sunday ritual. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough breakfast, shopping and trying not to stare at women share his experience of trying to make fun and lasting experiences for his family. Not ashamed of making stupid mistakes and telling them you may find this helpful if you want to hammer an umbrella into the sand or trying to talk your wife into buying that skimpy bikini. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s Embarrassing: Memories that make me cringe \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does a girl bursting into tears at the roller rink, a girl bursting into laughter during study hall, and a girl bursting into anger after a wedding have in common? Scott Roman was the cause of it all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStroll down memory lane as he shamelessly shares embarrassing stories of his youth.

If you're Scott Roman, plenty. Traveling in some of the worst snow storms in decades, battling tourism versus travel, and the ability to notice and obsess on the mundane will have you relieved you only read about the trip instead of being on it with him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust Water \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScott Roman takes you into why he changed his habit of drinking soft drinks and only orders water at meals.
