    Yesterday morning while I was getting ready for work, I listened to a bit of the Joe Rogan podcast with comedian Kevin Hart.

    Kevin is hilarious. His new Netflix special “Irresponsible” is great (unlike the dirty and actually irresponsible stand-up special by a pregnant comedian whom I shall not name.)

    Now, on Rogan’s podcast, Kevin talks about surrounding yourself with positivity.

    It’s so easy to complain, he says: (more…)

  • What is your label doing for you?

    Confirmation bias, straight ahead!

    Saint Paul, MN

    Be careful what you wish for…

    Oy, what’s the good word?

    I’m getting a late start today, and –I know– I missed emailing you on Saturday. No excuses.

    Anyway, during the Crazy Rich Asians movie, of course my kids wake up and call out for water and all that. While my lovely lady was helping them, I took the opportunity to record a video for you.
