Dan Riehl and the Zero Hour

 He now averages more than a quarter-million visitors per month, but when he started out blogging in 2004 . . . eh, not so much: I remember trying to deduct my own visits from my sitemeter one day, figuring I had had about 17 actual visitors for 24 hrs. Having the persistence to stick with it […]

A. Her Hubby’s Got Big Feet (Hint, Hint)

Q. Why is Dr. Helen Smith always smiling? Dr. Helen is adding to the “hotness gap,” and Professor Reynolds is obviously not just another pretty face. Of course, we’ve never seen him in a Speedo, but . . .
