I’ve always hated when friends complain about their work travel. Oh really? Was it so awful to spend the week in Los Angeles or in South Beach? Did that 36-hour trip to Vegas mess up your week? That whole warm weather, free food, new experiences while getting paid for it thing must be a real drag for you as I trudge off to the 1,800th day of teaching middle school math in a row. I feel for you…

I’ve been trying hard to up my wardrobe game since taking on a more active role with this blog, but I’m not very good at wearing clothes. Even worse, I didn’t even know that one could “be good” at clothes until recently. I’d grab my outfit from The Clothes Pile on the floor in the morning and throw it right back on top at night.

As a guy from the Midwest, it’s truly surprising how much of my adult life has been spent on the beach. I know what you’re thinking:
Mitch. I’m pretty sure Chicago has beaches. Did you know that?

It’s tough to write a Lately with Mitch column each week when all I really do is chase Emma around, cook for her, and then clean up after she destroys the house. A real “Lately with Mitch” would involve such mind-numbing topics as:

Kelly is galavanting across the Bahamas with Vineyard Vines on yacht this week, and despite my predilection towards beaches and marine mammals, I’m not jealous at all! I have Emma in Chicago and all is right with the world.

Our home search was quick. Kelly found the listing, and we put an offer in the next day. We were in love! Despite being built in the late 1800s, our little (half of a) townhouse was “move-in ready.” Sure, the very yellow kitchen needed an update, but that was five or 10 years down the road. Our immediate plans? Settle in, get our feet under ourselves, and simply enjoy our new home.
