  • Embracing Nightmares

    Embracing Nightmares

    We recorded a session of the BroadCast today, which will air on Wednesday. Myself, the Lovely Miss Rita, and Alyssa Casto all sat down together to talk about wonderment, daydreams, and life. It was a great conversation. Like these things do, it sparked me into thinking about something long after we’d said farewell and gone…

  • And still, Don’t Panic

    And still, Don’t Panic

      I’ve been debating the usefulness of yet another post about the coronavirus. The first one I made still feels relevant: handwashing, don’t panic.

  • Home Executive: Part I

    Home Executive: Part I

    I started out my morning by cleaning off my desk. Small task, but it’s more that I know if I don’t do it, and I keep letting it pile up, I won’t be able to get any work done. Sort of like last night, the First Reader and I taking the time to walk the…
