This Club Will Break All The Rules — in a Good Way

By Tom Ruwitch

Every few months my wife, Melissa, leaves me. It’s not the pack-her-bags, move-back-to-her-mom’s, and call-a-lawyer kind of leave me.  It’s the Book-Club-in-four-days kind of leave me.  And it goes like this… Tom: It’s a Wonderful Life is on TV tonight. You love that movie. Wanna watch it?  Melissa (with 3-inch thick Toni Morrison novel propped on her…

By Tom Ruwitch

When Instagram was new, I opened an account and thought… …now what!? I wasn’t into selfies. Instagram marketing wasn’t a thing yet. I didn’t know what to photograph or why. Then I decided to look for interesting images that surrounded me. I was at home so I looked for interesting stuff in my house. I…

Never Say “Sorry” For This…

By Tom Ruwitch

When I was in high school, no one visited the guidance counselor. I mean NO ONE. He was a creepy hippy-turned-teacher who sat alone in his third-floor office, waiting for someone to show up and ask for help. We students thought asking for help was an act of surrender.
