I was in NYC this week for Digital Book World and I snapped a few photos with my iPhone as we were leaving the city (the night after nearly a foot and a half of snow)

I spent this last week in Toronto, capped off by my appearance on The Marilyn Denis Show (more on that later). I spent yesterday doing a lot of frantic work so I could take off late afternoon and do some 1:1 with Brianna at the movies. We went to see Yogi Bear in 3D. I [...]

I kind of meant to post this earlier, but I’m in Toronto and have been either in meetings, or preparing for meetings, for three solid days. But just in case any of my readers are in Canada, I thought I’d let you know that on Thursday, January 20th (tomorrow) at 10a Eastern, I’m going to [...]
