I absolutely hate flying. I would far prefer teleportation. Of course, we’re not there yet. Or are we? This weekend, I flew out to Seattle from New York. The security lines were over an hour long. Luckily, I had my shortcut options. Still, the line was atrocious. I […]
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. Right now, I’m staring at a painting of two roosters. I stare and laugh. It’s colorful and nice. It’s in my living room now. Whereas before, it was in the kitchen. I’ve been moving things […]

By now, I have told this story more than once. I’ve told it repeatedly all week. Will probably do so for a few more weeks. I was asked recently, which ones were must-see and which were ones I’ll probably not return to (for vacation). For me, my must-see […]
