I’m away on a business trip right now. As I was leaving this morning, Birmingham was helping me clean up so he could drive me to the train. I turned off my computer and closed it and left it on the desk. “Aren’t you going to take your laptop?” “Naw, I have a work one [...]

How do you get someone to be romantic?
I know, I should buy a Cosmo to get the answer to that question. My friend was just telling me that when his sister-in-law was dating her future husband, he sent her 47 roses because they had been dating for 47 days. And each rose had a note, and each note was something about her [...]

Blog posting fail!*
I love when I write a post I really like, (ie: the post right before this) but I also hate it. I put too much pressure on myself to follow up with something equally brilliant, at least in my mind. Nothing else that happened in the past few days was as interesting as running out [...]
