The Friday Rant: A Day In The Park With My Boy Garth

The Friday Rant: A Day In The Park With My Boy Garth

Garth Turner and I have exchanged barbs over our blogs in the past couple of months, but I honestly think Garth and I could be friends!

The Friday Rant: Worst Client Ever

The Friday Rant: Worst Client Ever

My list of “Top Five Worst Clients” only really consists of two couples, since I’m lucky enough to rarely work with people that produce a bad experience.
