Resilience takes many forms, but few can say they’ve been swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. Yet, there was a guy—let’s call him the real-life Jonah—who recently did just that. He was diving, minding his own business, probably thinking about dinner or his to-do […]
I had a sense this day would go sideways before it even started. You know that gnawing feeling in your gut, wondering whether you should’ve just stayed home? That was me this morning. But, being a responsible adult (or at least trying to act like one), I got […]
Write about your first computer. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and while the game is entertaining, what I really look forward to are the commercials. Though, I must admit, the excitement isn’t what it used to be. Remember that Apple commercial—the one that became a seismic cultural moment? I […]
