During a recent layover in Atlanta, I did my usual walking around, taking in my surroundings. This breast pumping station stopped me in my tracks. Zappos and Mamava hit the mark on this one.

6 Cool Benefits of Playing Pokemon Go
We work. We play. If we don’t do both, we’ll wind up either broke or miserable. That’s why when Pokemon Go launched the other day, I hopped on board, even though I never really played Pokemon previously.
