Got home, reached in to grab my Mac Book Pro out of my bag and it literally scalded me (had to run my hand under cold water). Evidently it didn’t sleep properly when I closed the lid and it just sat in the bag cooking. Lucky it didn’t catch anything on fire. Can only imagine […]

No matter how many times I fly, I marvel at living in an age when I can have morning coffee in LA, and follow it up with a casual dinner in DC. Does it mean life is “better”… maybe… but it sure is amazing! Of course, human nature being what it is, as I write […]
