I finally got stung by a bee. For years, I’ve been mortified of this very moment, ever since I watched “My Girl” and sobbed through the tragic bee sting scene. That was the first movie that ever made me cry, and it left an indelible mark on my […]
Ah, Saturdays. A day for rest, relaxation, and perusing the oddities of the news world. Let’s dive into a couple of head-scratchers from today’s headlines and find some levity amidst the madness. First up, the story of a Florida man who tried to evade arrest by cartwheeling away […]
Ah, Generation X, the cohort that practically invented resilience. We were the latchkey kids, roaming free without GPS tracking, learning independence from a young age. Our afternoons were filled with MTV, where Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” was the anthem of rebellion. Commercials taught us how to battle everything […]
After years of commuting through the urban jungle, I’ve come to a startling conclusion: we should subsidize earphones for everyone, especially those crammed into crowded trains.

It’s a totally random Tuesday, and I started with a grand plan for tacos. But life had other ideas. Instead, I stumbled upon an offbeat restaurant I’d never been to (and probably won’t return to), where I watched an epic Spain vs. France Eurocup match. The game was […]

Have you ever had surgery? What for? Yes, I have had surgery. In fact, if I tally it up, I’ve had three. Although, I feel like I’m forgetting one. And, if I am, so be it Two were for a recurring issue, and a brand-new problem popped up […]
