Hello new friends! If you're interested in more of my writing, here's one for you. I wrote this after taking my son to skateboarding lessons and finding out I was no longer cool.

Actually if anyone knows of a dried advent bean calendar let me know. My wife would love one.

Funny, insightful, and well written. According to the New York Times, the main character, "Mike Muñoz is a Holden Caulfield for a new millennium."

Anyone ever use one of these? I'd love to buy one if they were more affordable.
