Bio
Frasier and Elsa happen to be two broken down, middle aged people seeking to date in the "New Normal" that is their lives after divorce, widowhood, unemployment and therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. Elsa and Frasier have a veritable Verizon Network behind them and some of their children. So stories will be told from each perspective as either Frasier, the divorcing man with many kids and a silver anniversary in his rear view mirror or from Elsa the widowed mother of two children. So PM questions or just enjoy the ride. Understand you should not try any of this at home.
