For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'
You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).

At my last office job, we always had a 1000-piece puzzle going in the break room. That puzzle was the best thing ever. I'd do some work then treat myself with more puzzle time. Then I watched the first season of Severance, and it hit me hard.

There is a character called NomNom in one of my younger son's tablet games, and this morning as he was telling me about NomNom, my 13-year-old looked up from his cereal and said "Anyong!" à la Arrested Development. And I mean, guys, this is why I had kids.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

PSA to try some classic madlibs with your kids. My 6-year-old lost his mind tonight over a story about "Silly Buttcheeks."

My mom would have turned 73 today. She died a month before her 72nd birthday. I think she would have loved this reference to Proust's madeleines, as she would have loved to hear about the thousand tiny things that brought her immediately to my mind over this last year with love and gratitude.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the day we got Winnie and we love her very much. Also today, she ate something weird on a walk and her tummy hurt so she ate all my houseplants. She is still the best girl (and doing ok now, I think).

as profound a meditation on attention as anything I've read
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Sometimes I imagine that this old sign post at the dog park means that I've walked into Narnia.
