I recently got a chance to spill my guts about my favorite topic of conversation – putting on Confluence blogging and digital influencer conference, here in Oklahoma City. As you can tell from the interview, it’s a subject I could talk about all day long. The conference was very definitely a labor of love.

Yesterday I said to my wife as I was driving, “Did you know in America you can go to jail for imitating a police officer?” “Impersonating,” she said. And then we both cracked up. It took about a minute for us to settle back down. “That was an honest mistake.” “I know. It’s much more
I had Pandora on the Coldplay channel the other day. “What is this?” my wife asked. “The Coldplay channel.” “Sounds more like the douchbag playlist,” she said.

Just like at Subway, everything is sort of the same but different at Gorbanzo Mediterranean Grill in Edmond OK. With the exception of the choice of meat or falafel, your meal will largely be determined by what you ask them not to put on it. I was going to hold one thing – the
We recently came back from Dreams Punta Cana a lovely resort in the Dominican Republic. We got food poisoning on the first night and it took two weeks to clear up. This is my son’s stool sample sitting in the fridge at home. Now the poo is gone. I can’t bring myself
