The impact of the first follower This starts out very silly and fun. By the time it was over, there were tears in my eyes. I hope that you can feel it, too. Here’s a great analysis of the first follower. I think the version of the video that I’ve posted has more raw emotional [...]

We took Moby hiking last weekend. It doesn't matter how recently he has, er, moved his bowels. When we go on a hike, it seems he's got a second (and sometimes a third) load in storage, saved for just such an occasion. When Moby's done his business on a hike, he has such a look [...]
