I’ve been talking about the Oscars a lot lately — namely, that I want to attend them one of these years — and something my friend Dyana said reminded me of this post (from my previous blog), which is not about the Oscars, but the Golden Globes. Anyway, thinking of it made me laugh, and [...]

This is not a story about a duck. (Sorry.)
Note: This is my first-ever video. How excitement! However, there is maybe an issue with image/sound syncing? If this is the case while you’re watching, I recommend opening another tab in your browser and pretending you’re listening to a podcast. I hate image/sound syncing issues. They totally [...]

Last Friday’s group FireStarter session really did light a fire under me. (Never let it be said that there is no truth in advertising.) I’ve never before shared such an intimate space and purpose with so many inspiring people. It was as exhilarating as it was humbling, and one of the best things about it [...]

The Lad: Please look on YouTube for a little boy in a bear costume playing with a little kitten who’s playing with a little kitten car. And the little boy speaks English with the little kitten who’s playing with the little kitten car.

Hummus-esque

My son and I needed a snack after a long, sweaty walk, itself necessitated by a long, cranky day cooped up inside. We were out of fruit, we’d had cheese and crackers earlier in the day, and I was in the mood for something savory. I remembered there was a can of garbanzo beans in [...]
