This past week has been a furious combination of packing, more packing, even more packing, cleaning, movies, and bowling.

This week’s blog edition is coming to you live from a dusty counter and a plastic step-stool in the middle of Tom’s Toys soon-to-be latest addition to its toy store chain. It always surprises me how many things I take for granted in any space I walk into. Like chairs. Or a duster. I don’t tend […]
