Hey, This Stuff Actually Works!

Not long ago, a “friend” gave my name to a custom haberdasher. Not exactly something any of us is hoping our friends would do, right?

Ham, Eggs and Martin Price

I was three-quarters of the way through my core exercises yesterday morning when the phone rang. Reluctantly as you can imagine, I lifted my carcass from the floor and crankily gathered my phone. “Hello?” I said. Then the voice….

The problem was it wasn’t Martin Price,… Read More »Ham, Eggs and Martin Price
