THESE DAYS you hear a lot about the friendship shortage among middle-aged men. As we find partners and get married, many men, it's commonly observed, cease to make new friends and lose touch with old ones. That's when our wives take over the planning of our social lives, many of us make friends this way. You do, after all, have common ground. But often those bonds are tenuous. When the connective tissue is severed – kids change classes, for example, you can find yourself moving on to the next couple or family your wife has lined up for you.
