In Real Life, Incorporated by Andrea Santo Felcone
January 15th, 2018
If left to his own devices—and by this I mean, digital devices, my teenage son might very likely spend the entire day on his Xbox—with short breaks for reality. I’m not sure why this behavior surprises me; he’s of the generation that has labeled reality, as in, “I’ll meet you ...

December 24th, 2017
My three sons are ages 26, 23, and 17. I've spent many Christmases buying Power Ranger toys, video games, and Red Sox merchandise, particularly if the Sox won a championship as they did in '04, '07, and '13. I spent much time at the local Toys 'R' Us, roaming the ...
