Retirement is hard for so many men.

Should never have happened. Unbelievable horror. Thanks for sharing.

here’s what the Kyle and Jackie O split could mean for your grocery bill

Thinking a lot today about how reading rates are dropping (despite all the studies that reading is really good for people), writers are struggling to survive, and publishing companies keep consolidating into bigger, more vicious conglomerates.
It's an ugly, massive Gordian knot.

My second is five months old and yes you are 🙂 (nah it’s the best)
