What skills or lessons have you learned recently? There are certain phrases that take up permanent residence in the brain. They don’t pay rent. They don’t announce themselves. They just move in and rearrange the furniture. Case in point: “EXTERMINATE!” Yes. That one. The Dalek battle cry from […]
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? This past year wasn’t exactly sprinkled with fairy dust or wrapped in a giant red bow. It was more like one of those surprise grab bags where you reach in hoping for chocolate and instead […]
Who are your current most favorite people? Let’s get one thing out of the way. I could absolutely say my favorite person right now is the Pope. He’s cool, he’s chill, and honestly both the current pope and the last one had that quiet “I see the absurdity […]
