Pick an amount of money that’s mildly meaningful to you. I don’t mean bill money. I’m talking an amount of money that would make you pause for a moment to think about whether you should spend it. For some of you, that’s twenty bucks. For some, ten or five. For some of you (and I’ve been there, believe me) it’s a dollar. Whatever it is, decide on it. Tomorrow,...

I figured out two things this past weekend...
Guys love my glasses and I will never work nights when there’s football games. (Baseball games? We’re packed. Football? I make so little money, the club feels bad for me and doesn’t even charge me base rent.)
J was out of town this weekend, so I had the whole place to myself. I started waking up half an hour earlier so that I could have a full hour to get all strippered up...
