I Gave Up Ice Cream and Acquired a Child
I mentioned in my last post that I was giving up ice cream for the month of December. As you may know, I am a bit of an ice cream eater (“a bit” meaning “I eat a large bowl every day.”) In my defense, though, I only eat pseudo-ice cream, and I only do so…

Adios, Ice Cream (and Bye, Bye Restaurant Guests)

The Problem With Rejection
