I never understood the idea that you're supposed to mellow as you get older.
Slowing down isn't something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it. To continue to express myself. To feel the world. To be with people. To take things far. To risk. To love.
~ Diane Keaton

It was an honor to write about Theron Humphrey and his charismatic coonhound, Maddie, who died on Thursday.
Her uncanny level of camera readiness gained her the title of “dog supermodel” and made her a fixture of 1.2 million Instagram feeds for more than a decade.
