1 ) People who sleep with their phone under their pillow and get mad when you call to early.
I don’t think there should ever be a time that you call someone and wake them up. We are not living in the days of landlines anymore…Silent, Vibrate, Airplane Mode, and my personal favorite, OFF are all [...]
So today I was cruising on my way down to Hudson flicking through my XM radio presets. Since I got my new truck I haven’t got rid of 5 of the 12 ”factory”presets because I really don’t like that many channels on XM. One of these channels happens to be Martha Stewart Living Radio (for those [...]

“Hey I got these SRO (standing room only) tickets for a St. Patty’s day show tonight at Gillette. Do you want to go?”
It was at 8pm and I only had two clients scheduled that afternoon which were sort of “bonus” sessions anyways so I [...]
Hey so yesterday a whiteboard brainstorm turned into the beginnings of my new training manual. The manual is going to be an offseason training program for high school and college athletes with modifications for different sports and positions (ie, different programming for lineman vs. pitchers).
