My experience of making friends in one’s thirties tells me that it is nearly impossible. Work, kids and general adult responsibilities...
I’d wanted to start a podcast of my own for years, but never took steps to do it myself. Thanks to my phone, Adobe Audition, WordPress, and the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin I started one.

Wallet. Keys. Phone. That’s all I used to need before leaving the house as a single man. I wouldn’t get locked out, be unable to buy a sandwich or call for help if my car (when I had one) broke down with these items....
I'm just going to say it upfront. I'm a huge supporter of open-air breastfeeding. It's natural. It's beautiful. It's 100% acceptable and supported by my wife, family, and myself.

I spent nine hours in the car on my birthday last month between 3:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. due to a family emergency. My father-in-law was in his last hours and my wife needed to be there with him. I picked her up from the airport and drove the 70 some odd...
