I Bite, Therefore I Am (Diary of a Compulsive Fingernail Biter)

Try as I might, there’s simply no way I’ll ever again bear witness to a pow-wow of my face and my feet. At 40 years of age, I’m not even half as flexible as I once was, so sadly, my toenail-biting career has come to an end. A moment of […]

Old Spice Makes Smellmitment To Men This Holiday Season

I have partnered with Life of Dad and Old Spice for this promotion. Every picture tells a story, as the song goes, but the same is not necessarily true of every smell. At least, not every smell tells a sweetly scented story. And that is the story of the first […]

Being KIND is Awesome

I am so incredibly happy to have partnered with Life of Dad and KIND for this promotion. I contend that much of my personal success in life can be directly attributed to kindness and to gratitude. I asked this of a gigantic corporation while my entire family was away on […]
