I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

"Kenny and the Cookie Lady" is about a boy who moves to Ohio and has a new neighbor – @CityofCleveland's own Diane Simon, the "Cookie Mom" of the @NBA.

@RDPohl1 @pinkythnkrpress A little bit of all over the place. But definitely Buffalo if the Bills go to Super Bowl. 🤞

I'm blanking on this but I remember an ad agency mentorship program run by a group of individuals within the biz taking place last summer. Anybody remember the name?

Is today the day I turn my back on freelance writing and pivot to cheesemaking? Whey in. 😜🧀

"It is nonsense that to shine, you need to go to a fancy school, bootlick bosses, or pay your dues at crappy jobs working for bad people," @JimVandeHei writes. "You simply need to want to construct goodness with whatever life throws at you." https://t.co/pSVac5Qw25
