I can’t meditate. I know, I know, it’s the soul’s looking glass or something. All about the breath, corralling a busy mind. But after a couple exhales I invariably convince myself that I’ve forgotten to lock the doors of my car… INHALE …and of course my laptop’s...
When you’re a dad, parenting questions often come up that you struggle to find an answer to. Since other parents are the worst and Google will send you down a rabbit hole of paralyzing, paranoid terror, we’re here to help by putting those questions to the experts....
The other day a colleague mentioned a friend who is really turned on when his girlfriend wears a sports jersey to bed. We joked about all the stuff men want women to wear for sexy time — the obvious lingerie, knee socks, a T-shirt and underwear, boy shorts, nothing,...
A few weeks ago, a friend asked me to sit in her house and watch her dog for a few days while she went away. In most cases, this would sound like a pain in the butt, but this was a request from a close friend — plus, her...
