Well now I’ve done it.
Number six to be exact. For those who didn’t know, I am on a quest to get “The List” done before I find myself knocked up.
To check of the sixth item on my list, I performed in a stand-up comedy show this weekend. More

That said, every once in a while a company inspires me to take a different approach to my reviews. This is one of those times.
