If you're following ZwinkyBlog on Twitter, you may have noticed that Mr. Metropolitan is in quite a mood lately. I caught up with him at the Bus Stop today and I asked him if he wanted to grab a coffee at Java Jolt with me. Well, a mocha for me, decaf mocha for him. His answer: just a sigh.

I thought maybe we'd hang out and read some of the letters he's gotten in his mailbag. He said (and I couldn't believe this) "Maybe it's time for me to retire."

Now, I don't need to tell you what a huge loss that would be! Mr. Metropolitan is a great guy who gives really good advice (especially if you get his sarcasm!). Between you and me... I think this has got a lot to do with the Advice-Off we had last month. It's not that Mr. M's a sore loser; I just think he's a bit bummed about a full-on sweep by Miss Thang.

I tried to tell him that we're gonna have another one and this time we'll try to get more than just romance questions. But he doesn't seem to want to hear it.

Quite honestly, I think there's only one thing that can cheer our good friend up, and that's you, Zwinksters.

So take a moment and send Mr. Metropolitan some love... shoot him a Znote or go to Z's Greetings and send him a card. I like this one:

Whatever you do, let him know that Zwinktopia needs him!
