Dating Challenge Accepted, Reluctantly
After three blissful decades of avoiding the dating scene, I'm thrilled to announce my reluctant return to romance. Nothing says "catch me if you can" like someone who's been out of practice since the Clinton administration. Apparently, my friends think I need "companionship" and "human connection." How quaint. So here I am, dusting off my flirting skills and pretending to understand modern dating apps. Because nothing could possibly go wrong with jumping back into a world where "Netflix and chi...

Grateful for Non-Fiction Chaos
Non-fiction books deserve our twisted gratitude. Thanks to self-help books for making me realize my life needs exactly 47 different fixes. I'm grateful to productivity guides for teaching me to spend more time organizing than doing. History books remind me every generation thought they were doomed—oddly comforting. Psychology texts give me just enough knowledge to armchair-diagnose everyone. Business books convinced me I'd be successful if I just ate kale at 4 AM. Science books make me insuffera...

The internet lied.
The Internet is full of scams, and I mean bigones. Now that we have AI, gazillions of people on the wonderful interwebs are attempting to fool you, scam you, make you believe things that are not true, and try to change who you are as a person. I once had a sign in my office that read "Question Everything." I need to have it remade.

Remembering Michael Recycle
Back in the late 1970s, Reynolds Aluminum introduced Michael Recycle , a caped crusader teaching kids about the importance of recycling aluminum. He starred in comic books and public campaigns, even making appearances during the famous Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon . Reynolds pledged donations for every pound of aluminum recycled, blending environmental action with community support. Though often confused with the modern children’s book hero, this original Michael Recycle was a true eco-ico...

The Pure Power of Reinventing Yourself
Life isn’t a fixed story — it’s a series of drafts, and reinvention is your right. The most powerful transformations often start in discomfort, forcing us to confront old labels and outdated versions of ourselves. Reinventing yourself isn’t about escape; it’s about expansion. It’s a bold reminder that who you were doesn’t limit who you can become. Every pivot is a radical act of self-love, a way to reignite energy, curiosity, and purpose. You have the power to rewrite your narrative, chase new d...

Science isn’t a belief system
Science isn’t a belief system — it’s a method for understanding the world through evidence, testing, and discovery. Yet, in today’s world, some people reject well-established science in favor of misinformation or personal opinions. This resistance often comes from fear, mistrust, or misunderstanding. But facts don’t change based on belief. Gravity works whether you “believe” in it or not. Science has brought us vaccines, clean water, smartphones, and space travel. When we turn away from it, we r...

Gratitude Begins at Home (sometimes)
When we pause to count our blessings, family often tops the list. They are our foundation, offering unconditional love, support, and memories that shape who we become. It’s in the simple, everyday moments — shared meals, stories, and laughter — where gratitude quietly grows. Even through challenges, families teach us patience, forgiveness, and resilience. No one else knows our history, or cheers us on quite the same way. Let’s take time today to appreciate those bonds, whether by a call, a hug, ...

Spring, and stuff
Spring is the perfect time to jumpstart your garden! Begin by prepping your soil with compost and checking for proper drainage. Know your last frost date so you can time planting just right. Choose climate-appropriate plants and consider starting seeds indoors for a head start. Stay ahead of weeds and mulch early to retain moisture and suppress growth.

The Fall of Physical Media
In 1958, my sister took me to a Jerry Lee Lewis concert. The next day, we visited a record shop, where she bought Great Balls of Fire for $0.67—my first encounter with physical media. Over time, I collected albums, read liner notes, and embraced VHS, CDs, and tapes. Now, we stream everything, but we don’t own it. Music is compressed, manipulated, and auto-tuned. I sold my vinyl but kept my CDs—and I cherish them. Frank Sinatra’s Strangers in the Night was auto-tuned. What the hell? I’ll stick to...
