Sunday drivers are the worst. Especially on Mondays. Wow. I am a regular ol’ grouch. I once saw a bumper sticker that read, “I am not on your vacation.” I am that bumper sticker, personified. Occasionally. I am much more charitable when it comes to…

Today: My brother, the triathlete.
My older brother completed a triathlon this weekend. I was lucky enough to be a spectator and am still in awe of what he accomplished. I honestly felt like I was watching the Olympics, except that we were in Marlboro. And at one point an…

Today: Moving stuff. On my owwwn.
Storage facilities are strange places. It’s hard to not wonder about what people are storing there, and how many of your fellow clients are involved in organized crime. Or have been on an episode of Hoarders. Or both. In my professional life, we’ve been dealing…

Today: Back in action!
We spent a few amazing days on the Delaware shore with friends this week. After ten hours on the road today, I am wiiiiiped, but wanted to share a few of the highlights. I hope you’re all having a great week! I’m looking forward to…
