Huh. That's the first exercise I'd give my Intro. to Technical Writing students at Penn State. Oh, how they wept and gnashed.

"Savior of Millennials". Not a bad side hustle in desperate times.

I was on the receiving end of my wife's sleeptalking. She woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me she loves me. She doesn't remember this. It's not the first time.

Fifteen years ago today, we landed in New Zealand to start a business and a new chapter in our lives. On the way, we ran into Barrie M. Osborne and Francis Ford Coppola. There are worse ways to begin.
