Get In Line

I’m a nice guy. I really am. I like helping people. I like answering questions. But, I have my limits.

And while I’m up, let me take this opportunity to do my duty and plug NextDraft. Is it a hair cream? A wart remover? Oh no! Would I plug something like that? No no no. NextDraft is a clever daily newsletter that not only gives you some headlines you may have missed from the day, […]
