“Just a dog? Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, he can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man, or that’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock. Just.” From my old blog, I quoted [...]

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I woke up on 11/22 to retrieve my Gmail items, and my Real Simple Daily Thought of the Day (yes, I do have time to read these at least) got my morning off to a good start: I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and [...]

Two weeks ago, I was excited to write a post about ‘how not to get sick.’ Two years ago, I probably had a cold of some sort and have had a clean streak of nonsickness since. Two days ago, I’m thinking to myself,”Dang it, I’d be silly to write about strategies for staying healthy while [...]

After I finished my painful, monthly routine checkup, I went to the receptionist to get my next appointment [...]

While at Miyake earlier this month for a birthday, a buddy made a comment that was strangely profound and relevant to many of our lives (if you’re under the age of 30, generally speaking): [...]

The office, like most public places, has astonishingly powerful toilets that can really flush. I mean, these toilets suck up everthing. We’re talking industrial strength at its finest. While performing the daily #1 yesterday at work, I yanked off my ID badge clip at the most dangerous time of all: in mid-flush. I helplessly extended [...]

I have received snail-mail card invitations to birthday parties and various events in the mailbox since I was a kid. Those were always fun to get, right?
