Have a Nice Life! (I Mean it)
I was listening to a podcast the other day and one of the hosts talked about how we often we only see people once in our whole lives. She described it in the context of getting her eyebrows done. She lives in New York, a bustling city of millions, and makes an appointment every couple Continue reading

Maybe We’re All Polyhedrons
When I was in 8th grade, my geometry teacher assigned our class to create polyhedrons, which are three dimensional shapes whose sides are comprised of polygons (triangles, squares, pentagons, etc.) It was one of our final projects of the fall semester, and one that required a lot of calculations (and glue) to pull off.

My mom texted: Third floor, labor and delivery! My sister Natalee’s c-section had been scheduled, and my brother and I had taken the day off work. I was sitting in traffic on the way to the hospital when I got the text, and my brother was in his kitchen making breakfast. We both had plenty Continue reading

This One is for My Grandpa
When I was in elementary school, I remember a lot of summer afternoons when my cousin Spenser and I would spend the day with our grandpa. We could keep ourselves busy by watching television, throwing poker chips into a hat, playing Sequence, or sneaking back to ride the exercise bike we were explicitly told not Continue reading
