Because an actual person or bot named Tom Ford has compiled a completely wrong article on my net worth and occupation? Very pleased. I love Nali so much. This week, she pooped a runny volume of poop so massive on a rug that I had to throw it away in an abandoned dumpster. But I…
I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…

I can’t keep up with ANYTHING this week. How is a four-day work week not actually a break, just cramming the work of five days into four? (Also this supports my proven theory—as I worked them for three years—that four-day work weeks are just as productive if not more so than five-day works weeks, but…

I published my won’t-do before 36 list last year before my birthday, and almost forgot about it—my 36th birthday is really sneaking up on me.
