    Last week when my local school district called five snow days in a row I thought it was possibly the most foolish decision I’d ever witnessed. Scratch possibly, but not because I think it’s moved up to number one. It’s definitely not … Continue reading →

    As the guy who literally wrote the book on dates and movies, I should note that today is Groundhog Day and there’s an obvious choice for what movie one should watch. In the streaming era this should be easy, right? … Continue reading →
