Yes, I'm alive

Ok, sorry - things have been hectic. I'll give a quick overview of why I been M.I.A.

1) Got married and had the most awesome Costa Rican wedding
2) Completely gut renovated my house (year and half long process)
3) Been pitching TV show ideas out the ying-yang for a personal finance makeover TV show
4) Wrote a short passage for the Improv Everywhere book which came out today!
5) Also got a new puppy!

And well, also a million other things in-between. Life as changed a bit since my book, I'm relaxing more, travelling more, and well doing what married people do (i.e. going to bed at 10 pm.)

Future posts will also be sporadic, working on some other projects which may or may not actually materialize, but we'll see! Thanks to everyone for checking in. Now go buy that Improv Everywhere book!
