I head to the park to meet a potential client because parks are more child-friendly than board rooms with all those pesky TABLES that get in the way of leather wheel-y chair races.

In case you didn’t know, yesterday was The Great American Backyard Campout Night. Or in our family: The Great Scott and A Still Awake At 10PM Preschooler Sit In A Hot Tent Night. My husband has been getting psyched up about this night for weeks. Tweeting and Facebooking it up. Or he just wanted an [...]
