If I Had a Nickel…
So I know it’s usually a joke or a cliché or whatever you want to call it, but the other day I sat down and really considered how rich I could be if I ever did get a nickel or a quarter or, can you imagine, a dollar for every time I did or said… Continue reading

Give Thursday a Chance
So it’s Thursday. Which means it’s almost Friday. Which means it’s practically the end of the entire week. Which means there’s no point in starting anything now. Right?

Embrace the Change, Even if it’s a Rental
For the past week or so I’ve been driving a rental car. I was in a minor accident at the end of October and so my car—who some of you might know I call Jeffrey—is currently in the shop getting himself a new passenger’s side door and an overall spiff up. In the meantime, I’m… Continue reading
