Help Me Pick Out My New Glasses.

Filed Under: Uncategorized 43 Comments

I never wear glasses. They look awful on me and I don’t see well in them. BUT, I just got a new prescription (my left eye is deteriorating at the rate of an 80-year-old) and decided to get my glasses online. After poking around at a few sites, I stumbled upon Warby Parker’s Home Try Ons. YouRead the whole post >>

Eighteen Months.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 19 Comments

Moments I want to remember from this time. . . . I’m sitting at the computer, trying to design something or answer email, and Gabe stands next to me, whining. I scoop him up into my lap and he pushes the power button repeatedly, while I try to brush his hand away and focus onRead the whole post >>
