Possibly the most unusual advice I’ve ever received: “You shouldn’t care so much.” This TikTok sums up my thoughts after that – like, how much caring is too much, how much is too little and how much is “just right”? What should we care about? What should we not care about? What if your idea […]
This essay showed up on my FB timeline from some guy called John Gregory I thought it was pretty insightful so am re-posting… After watching Portugal register just one shot on goal during the Portugal-DR Congo World Cup match the other day, I scratched my head over how soccer can be the world’s most popular […]

Always fun to visit my brother-in-law’s acreage (less fun to find a woodtick embedded in your belly the next day – how did I miss that?!?)
Had a really nice visit with my mom before Shea and I leave for Mexico (twice in one winter?!? What???) tomorrow. Off to Puerto Vallarta for a week and it’s a long story but we got a good deal and have been thinking a lot about how all four of our parents quit traveling earlier […]
