  • Forget The Alarm

    Forget The Alarm

    To clarify: that’s not “me” in the comic – that’s not how I (outwardly) wake up. I got to hear this happen one day when one of my kids woke up to the usual school day alarm and decided to try this approach for dealing with it.

    Agent of the Company

    Ask Me Almost Anything

  • The Bird

    The Bird

    The words left my mouth and it hit me: “wait, that did not sound right…”
