Is anyone else out there starting to chafe a bit at the idea of self-isolation and maintaining social distance for several more weeks? Yes, me too. I think we all understand that its important, and also that there’s a lot we can do to occupy ourselves, even if it feels far away from your normal…
Does anyone else feel like life is being written by a 4th grader lately? “…And then there was this virus, and everyone was scared. And then the world ran out of toilet paper. Yeah, then there was no school for a month and you couldn’t get chicken nuggets anymore! And then it snowed!” When the…
In this time of mass chaos, panic, and pandemic, I’ve been revisiting some of what I’ve taught myself over the past years and months about fear. Specifically what it means to live when something you’re experiencing is causing fear in your life or the lives of those around you. I, for one, am working as…
Most problems can’t be solved by drinking a cocktail, and its not exactly good practice to go about the cocktail method as a solution to problems in any case. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to say there aren’t special cases. For me, there is one problem whose solution is frequently at the bottom of…
I ‘ve been doing quite a bit of work over the past months to figuratively, literally, and emotionally move forward in my life and my career in a way that is sensitive to what I actually WANT out of life. Its been like slogging through thick, Wyoming clay mud. I frequently feel that I’m getting…
I don’t know that I can, or would, call myself a success at this moment in my life. Most days, I am ok with that, because my life is not over yet. What I do know is this. I cannot, and will not, call myself a failure. When I think about the steps I’ve taken…
February is, hands-down, my favorite month, and it has absolutely nothing to do with chocolate, flowers, or the fact that its my birthday month. I find myself waiting anxiously every year for some of the most publicized and competitive events the world sees all year. No, I’m not talking about those Sunday afternoons where boys…
When you start talking about cocktails, in my opinion, Italy doesn’t get enough attention. Pour me an Aperol Spritz or a Negroni, I’m pretty much in herbal bitter nirvana. Those are cocktails most of you know about, and they’re well-balanced, easy to drink, and easy to love. On our most recent trip to Italy, we…
I go through phases where I crave flavors from certain parts of the world with incredible voracity. Being married to an Egyptian, our house tends to have a Middle Eastern craving more often than other types of cuisine. We do make all of the traditional recipes the way they are intended, but a lot of…
Today, I am 35. It’s a day, much like any other day in recent weeks. Unremarkable in its way, and yet I’ve realized as it approached that this day also has a profound significance. For whatever reason, I tend to have decade-defining moments on the 5’s of my personal age tally, not the aughts. Perhaps…
