Look Up and Look Around
I am currently training for the LA marathon. This means that three times a week I’m outside running, telling my body that all the pain and exhaustion will be worth it when we get that medal at the finish line—and the free banana shortly afterward. This past Saturday I ran 17.5 miles, the second longest… Continue reading

Have you ever had a craving for Hot Cheetos (or their spicy chip counterparts)? Have you ever had this craving late at night?

Embrace the Change, Even if it’s a Rental
For the past week or so I’ve been driving a rental car. I was in a minor accident at the end of October and so my car—who some of you might know I call Jeffrey—is currently in the shop getting himself a new passenger’s side door and an overall spiff up. In the meantime, I’m… Continue reading

Throw Away Your Old Car Keys
I recently listened to Bryan Cranston’s memoir, Life in Parts, on audiobook. Not only does he have an incredible reading voice, but his stories are fun and fascinating and consistently engaging.

Start with Sweeping the Floor
Lately I’ve been feeling a little disoriented. There are so many things on my mind that I’d like to get accomplished and so many steps forward that I’m feeling motivated to take, that my brain has become somewhat of a chaotic mess, wondering where to even start. Amongst this chaos, even going so far as… Continue reading

Stay at the Table, the Chips Will Come
While accepting the first award of the night this past Monday—and the first Primetime Emmy of his career—Henry Winkler quoted something he was once told by a friend in Hollywood: “If you sit at the table long enough, the chips will come to you.” I’ve never been much of a poker player myself, but I… Continue reading

Greetings people of the Internet, I’m here to discuss something incredibly important. It has recently been brought to my attention that Alex Trebek is on his (be it, long and slow) way out from the Jeopardy hosting position.
