I've written before about some of what I've learned from owning a business, specifically a restaurant. I recently reread that piece and, while every single thing I said at that time remains true, I was struck more by what I didn't say. It was pretty friggin vague in a lot of ways. I went into … Continue reading PS L+L v2

Gestating that guy was an intense combination of … Continue reading My dirty dozen boy
