I am Family Man Guy

Response to “Frat Business Guy” from one of my friends:
I am Family Man guy
I work in a nice but modest office. I try to drink only on the weekends. I like beer on Fridays and maybe a vodka tonic on Saturday night. I wake up at seven and change my baby’s diaper and then take [...]

Elephant Walk

I’m up in lovely Waltham again for training. Avis decided to give me a minivan instead of a 4-door. That’s a really bad decision. It rides pretty nice, slides through the corners well and takes the speed bumps smoothly at 80 mph. Never buy a rental car.
I started reading Friday. [...]
