Fly Boy
One Fly Boy and Lady Badside have supposedly called it quits, recently. Was she too much of a partier for him? Or maybe she couldn't stand the rumors that he spends his time traveling from "port to port". It's a wonder she could tell he has wandering eyes under those glasses he always wears.
Ryo becoming a people person!
A rumor? Maybe. But there has been a report or two of Ryo Tosaga becoming more and more open. Coming to the inn regularly, talking in conversations involving more than three people, and even having five boyfriends! Or less, who knows.

Lady Lavender
A certain lavender lady was recently seen playing ping pong between two of Rhydin's most eligible bachelors. Said miss was hanging all over her tag partner and lover of leather pants before she was seen leaving with a certain co-worker and private eye. In light of the shortage of men, perhaps Lavender should share!

Is it Ty?
Another maybe rumor, is of a certain dragon, who looked like Ty before the egg incident, but bigger, wandering about the outskirts of the city. Could it be Ty? Or somebody else? Time and truth will tell.
Is He Missing?
A wolfen-like man, known as Kohaku or Ko, has vanished from the edge of RhyDin, it seems he has either been kidnapped or, sad to say, killed, he was last seen in the inn a number of months ago, and hasn't been seen since.

 There's an old joke that goes, "How does a woman get a man in RhyDin?" The answer: "She walks into a room." But we all know that there is far more to having a good relationship than walking into a room and meeting someone. This column is about making better relationships.
Dear Gav, it's hard to believe but… I'm a man from another planet. I work in space, live in space, travel the starways, and I'm a wiz at all the latest technology. I've fallen in love with a woman who considers a butter knife "high tech" and who won't fly away with me. What do I do? Am I crazy?

Dear Starry Eyed, "Love is a four letter word with two vowels 'O' and 'E', two consonants 'L' and 'V', and two fools, 'you' and 'me'." There are many foolish things

that normally sane men and women will do for love, and falling in love with someone who wants to keep her feet on the ground doesn't seem to be high on the "crazy" list. I'd say give up the ship for a while and explore the stars in her eyes.
Dear Gav, it's hard to believe but… I'm absolutely appalled at the matrimonial mess that we have in RhyDin. It seems like everyone is either getting married or getting a divorce. What's the divorce rate in this city – 98%? Why don't people stay together anymore? What's going on here!
Signed — Perplexed about Marriage
Dear Perplexed, I always say, "Marriage is like flies on a screen door. Those on the outside want to get in and those on the inside want to get out." You bring up a good point. Holy "Wedlock" seems to come with a key to open it already in place. Vows used to mean something; a person's word was a person's bond that they would never break. Lifelong deals were made with a word and a handshake. Those days are gone. Now marriage is simply a "contract" that says, "If you make me happy, I'll stay with you." I'm glad you feel this way, Perplexed. Perhaps you'll help to lower that divorce rate.
