Get 4
Eleven days ago, Jacob James turned the big 4. I’m running a bit behind on my commemorative blogging… and maybe a few other things *cough laundry cough*. He’s been talking about when he “gets 4” for months now. And now that he’s reached it, he’s already talking about when he…
Moonlighting
Back when I spent time going to the gym, watching movies and eating out at places without crayons, I did not have even the slightest knowledge of what I call “clothes management.” This is the phenomenon whereby I am required to sift through the clothing of my rapidly growing children…

WSJ
Today I read an interesting series of articles in The Journal (That’s what people call it, right? Makes me sound more like a CFO. Way better than, ‘Last night when I was watching Downton Abbey’… not quite as impressive.) So I read this article about innovation and entrepreneurs and this…
