I grew up in South Dakota, which is basically a black hole for anything cool, including me. I blame the fact that I am the world's leastest cool person on growing up there.

I grew up in the 80's, which was a very colorful time. We moved from New York to South Dakota right as the country was transitioning from disco to MTV.

My son is 11 and he already makes me think that he will work for the United Nations someday. He is always negotiating high powered contracts and he is relentless.

I'm usually pretty terrible at remembering anniversaries, which is why I decided to get married in 2000, so I would always know how many years I've been married. It has been pretty foolproof, and the end of summer date is also good, so we can always go on a chill date, while we make fun … Continue reading Seven Years Bitter Luck
In the background, I'm listening to the New Kids on the Block doing their best to make a comeback.

One … Continue reading New Kids on the Block Bitter Friday Giftures
