Well, I finally did it. I caved and watched Inventing Anna, the Netflix miniseries about the fake German heiress who scammed New York’s social elite, financial institutions, and a few unfortunate souls trying to pay their rent. It’s one of those shows I sidestepped for years, like a […]
Every household has its own mythology. In mine, the living room has been invaded by a towering, tail-wagging creature I affectionately call “Godzilla.” Weighing in at 70 pounds of pure joy and oblivious chaos, my big dog believes, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is a […]
I have what some might call a steel trap memory. Conversations from three years ago? Check. The smell of the exact street taco I had during a 2010 trip to San Antonio? Double check. The emotional cadence of a hallway conversation in a hospital wing I visited once? […]

Let’s dive into some of madness. […]
Some people consult vision boards. Others call mentors. Me? I pitch my ideas to the dogs. It’s a sacred ritual. I pace the room, rambling some grand scheme or mildly delusional plan, and there they are—my panel of furry consultants. Middle dog, the unbothered philosopher, barely lifts his […]
This weekend, I watched the latest Mission: Impossible installment- The Final Reckoning (is it really the final one? Who knows anymore?). What I do know is that this franchise has lived a long life powered by Tom Cruise’s energy, charisma, and refusal to slow down. And, while this […]
You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
