It’s 2012, the year of ourselves, and I’m sitting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania listening to Todd Glass come out of the closet and I’m writing a cover letter for the position of stand-up comedy booker at to The Late Show with David Letterman.

Couching Surfing Coaching
If you’re a couch surfer you know it’s not easy to get by day to day. Here’s three ways to keep yourself sheltered:
