  • The Return of the Giant Man-Baby: A dude weighs in

    Hi all! I know I said my next post was going to be all about the Irishman, but one of my brilliant readers derailed me! (Working on that next post now, peeps. Never fear!) Remember the Giant Man-Baby Phenomenon? Well, one of my dudely readers took the time to write a very insightful comment on…

    Today I’m thankful for: 1. Waking up with the Irishman instead of waking up alone on Thanksgiving. 2. A gorgeous morning. A detour through Valley Forge Park on the way home.
