When British physician Thomas Wedgwood was 31, he produced the first photograph. At the age of 31, French Egyptologist Jean Francois Champollion deciphered the Rosetta stone. And Eli Terry introduced the free-trial, no-money-down sales method. A few weeks ago, I also turned 31. I wonder if something I'll do this year will be important enough for historians to make note of. (You too can find out what great things people accomplished when they were your age.) I'm pretty happy with how my life has turned out so far, although it's almost nothing like I imagined when I was growing up. When …

I meant to post this photo from a speaking engagement in Champaign, IL weeks ago, but then February happened. I was reminded of it when Kim and I were in Tampa last week. Our hotel was a few blocks away from the New York Yankees spring training facility; yes, baseball season is almost here. Baseball players get to autograph baseballs. Rock stars get to sign bare, um... chestal regions. And cartoonists get to sign... pink shoes. …

It's snowing in Madison. Lots. We have a chance to break the all-time snowfall record this weekend. We could get close to two feet of snow, and even got some thunder and lightning last night! It seems as if everything is closed and canceled, and today's speaking engagement in Cambridge, WI has been postponed for a few weeks. So, what does one do when one is snowed in for a weekend? Maybe that's the wrong question. …

What's the best part of making a snowman? Rolling and shaping the first ball of snow? The contagious excitement of others who happen to see what you're up to? …

Gotta love this picture. It's an aerial view of thousands of people -- almost 9,000, to be exact -- in North Dakota trying to break a world record... for the most snow angels ever made.Awesome. Looks like the city of Bismarck has a pretty good handle on Adultitis.One of the snow angel makers was Pauline Jaeger, who on her 99th birthday, according to the AP story by James MacPherson, was making her very first snow angel. "It's fun," Jaeger said. "I feel just like a kid."When a 99-year-old lady says something like that, you KNOW it's never too late to have a second …

Twelve years ago Jason broke my heart(s)...five to be exact. We had just met about two months earlier (while Christmas caroling..that's an interesting story). The week before Valentine's Day he mailed me five individual envelopes, each with a special word inside. #1- Will #2- You …

When you're scheduled to speak to a group of people on two consecutive nights, you pray that the ones who attend the first night will come back for the second night. If the majority of them do, that's a victory. But when someone not only shows up for the second night, but shows up wearing your t-shirt... that sort of feels like winning the Super Bowl. (Although I've never actually won a Super Bowl.) …
Escape Adulthood is the cure for the common life. It's not about escaping reality or responsibility. It's about breaking free from the vile clutches of Adultitis and rediscovering the secrets of childhood that can lead to a life filled with passion, wonder, and joy.
