Dollar Shave Club review
Life at 31, married, no kids, urbanite, co-founder of a profitable start-up is going fucking swell. If you use the latest shaving blades its easy to make the cartridge last for weeks even a month or so. But in the end having the same blade for so long when you know you need to spring […]
What day to dress up for Halloween 2013
This subject has been a late night topic over several drinks and our group of friends. When should we dress up and hit the bars for Halloween? Halloween falls on a Thursday this year…and since most of our group doesn’t go out on week nights the debate turns into going out October 26th Saturday or […]

One day while walking through Pike Place Market I stopped into Market Optical. Turned out there was a trunk show for Robert Marc. I never heard […]
How to get on HGTV’s House Hunters
The follow up to when people find out we were on House Hunters is…how did you get on House Hunters (right after they said I love House Hunters). The answer is pretty simple…I wrote a short 4 to 8 line paragraph about who we were, where we lived, what we were looking for in house/ […]
How to Start the Holiday Season
Yes, that’s 4 cases of Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead. Starting a new tradition this year…Ash and I decided to buy 96 bottles of beer to share with friends and family before Halloween. Basically once the Pumpkinhead has been consumed the holidays begin. From Maine to New York most bars have Pumpkinhead on tap. With sugar-cinnamon rimmed glasses […]
