Come On, Eileen

I checked. In the last year, my wife and I spent exactly $4,220.35 at Target. Diapers, etc. It adds up. What would you spend to keep us as customers? $100? $50?

Their Future’s So Bright…

The Optometric Cafe across from my office in Beverly Hills was fixing my sunglasses for free (several times) months before I was actually a paying customer. They saw me as a potential customer, and possibly believed in word of mouth enough to service me gratis. I’ve since purchased two pair of pricey sunglasses from them [...]

Baby Dropping

All in the name of god, right?

I guess Michael Jackson and Britney Spears were on to something. They just wanted “good luck” for their babies.
