On "Louie" in Divorceland, Where a Fun Schlub is a Super-Stud
"My ex-husband is a much better parent alone than he would have been had we stayed together."
Mine too, and I suspect that the Louie character is as well. Why is this? Guys?

On Excerpts From 'How to Be: North Dakota'
@freetzy The epiphany of Midsommarfest was discovering glogg slushies. Yeah, you heard right.
I lived in ND for almost five years and had to move back to Chicago to find glogg.
Also, there should be a translation of "ofer" in this list. As in, when a North Dakotan sees an adorable baby, they say, "Ofer cute. Ofer precious." No idea where that comes from.

On The Intolerable Evolution of Poynter's "Romenesko+"
@Tulletilsynet It's everywhere. People are so ego driven that they can't simply serve a good thing and be satisfied with that. They have to "make their mark" on it, which generally means ignoring both what is loved (because they get no credit for it) and what could be tweaked to make it even better (because in something that's already good, that's, you know, challenging). Rather, they'll apply all the trendy crap they have ingested, "reconfigure" and institute "paradigm shifts" (shudder) until it's just like everything else. Case study? Banana Republic clothing stores, for one.

On How They Got There: A Q&A With Uber-Career Hopper Paul Hoffman
How about next time asking not only what they would say to a 22 year-old but what they'd say to a 44 year-old who wants to change things up. When you're starting out, everything seems possible. Feeling entrenched is a whole different obstacle to get over.
