One of my good friends asked me recently if I was a romantic. I paused for a long time. A romantic? I wasn’t even sure if I understood the question. She told me stuff about feelings and more stuff about feelings. I have to say 98% of my life I haven’t been a romantic. But [...]
Shortly after I started therapy I had a sort of revelation. That revelation was that I go out of my way to treat my friends, family, and business associates well.

The preview and trailer is CRAZY! It opens this week and I’m in the theater on this one!
