AJ. Don’t mean to sound witchy but I don’t get why you guard your last name like a CIA secret.

Super popular and starts with J?

Uhhh….Brown…no wait that’s not it! It must be Smith! Yeah.

No.

We know your last name. Bwa-ha-ha.

If it is any comfort. The one advantage of a super common name is that it makes you extremely freaking hard to track down.

And if anyone wanted to track you down, what would they do? Demand you rescind your damning statements about baby seat carriers? Take you out for coffee and talk about how cool your blog is?

Speaking of that, your blog is very cool. Just like what I would do. If I had the time…and your writing skills…and your design skills…and your discipline etc.

riiiiight. ;)
