After avoiding it for almost 3 years, it finally hit me. I got the COVID. For me, the physical symptoms were not that bad. It felt like a cold and I felt gross and infectious, but I have certainly been…

041 – October Energy
It’s true… During the pandemic, I lost touch with one of my favorite pastimes. Watching baseball. The first few months of 2020 brought nothing but screens – everyone for work on Zoom, social engagements on Zoom, conferences on Zoom, lots…
037 – Hiding in Plain Sight…
Sometimes the best things are hiding in plain sight. A good way to see them is by scrolling through old photos on your phone on a dreary Monday. Where were you a year ago? Two years ago? Five years ago?…
036 – Gratitude, Just do it!

027 – I’m done…
I’m fucking done… Done with being overwhelmed. Done with living behind a screen. Done with this pandemic. Done with Donald Fucking Trump – likely the shittiest human being to every walk the earth. Done with assholes who won’t wear masks…
026 – An easy weeknight meal
I will admit it; I feel like a loser when I can’t cook a good meal on a weeknight. This is especially difficult when I work 12 hours a day and pretty much live on zoom. I should probably go…
