• I hope everyone missed me last week. I was at Disney with the family. Taking my 4-year-old daughter was one of the best experiences in my young life. In my humble estimation Disney is the happiest place on earth. Most people that know me would call me cynical (my mom calls [...]

These “after thoughts” were originally supposed to be part of a “larger” collaborative piece, but that prototype failed. We’re still working on the kinks. So instead of wasting some thoughts, I’m slinging them here on the blog. Enjoy.
