Route 66 Diaper Bag

I am super excited about the diaper bag I got recently. Abigail found it online, on sale, at Zulily* for only $49! That was a few weeks ago. She asked me if I’d seen the offer and mentioned that there was only one left at that price. I actually jumped up off the couch and ran to […]

James Bond, A Train Station & Coke Zero

Let’s get this straight. I am a guy, and like most men, I’m a fan of the 007 movie series. It’s got pretty much everything any guy would want (in some combination of favorites): gadgets, travel, adventure, confidence, money, women, nice clothes, fancy drinks, etc. If you were to ask pretty much any guy if […]
