Actually, I’m in Miami for the past few days. I’ve really missed this town. It’s been great visiting my college roommate and her husband. I forget how much I adore her until I see her again and then I remember what an amazing human being she is. Times like this, I wish I still lived in the area so I… Read more »
The events the past weekend in Charlottesville were pretty upsetting to me. There was other bits of upsetting news as well, one of which was that Nile Rodgers was hospitalized. About a year ago or so, I got to go see Nile Rodgers open up for Duran Duran. At the time, I wrote about how his battle and triumph over… Read more »
These are some very troubling times here in the United States. The events of this past weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia have shaken my belief in a world that could move past tribalism and hatred and whatever fuels grown men to ram cars into crowds of people. How are we still at the point that we deny the humanness of every… Read more »
My last couple of posts were sad stories about skin cancer. I figured I would switch it up for this post and relate something not slightly depressing… I’m switching roles in my company, which for me is very good news. I was getting really stressed reporting to a boss that had no clue on how to manage a team and… Read more »
So, I have my every-6-months follow-up appointment with the dermatologist this week. I already wrote about how stressed I am about this one, mostly because I am paranoid. I have no reason to be, but sometimes my amygdala likes to hijack the rational part of my brain. I’m also counting down to my upcoming birthday. Unlike most people over the… Read more »
I’m in San Francisco all this week for work. Yes, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to come here as often as I do and have someone else pay for it. Even when work is crazy, I remind myself how cool it is that I get to regularly travel here and suck it up when I want… Read more »
Hey y’all, I updated the appearance of the blog. If you like it, great. If you hate it, let me know why. I hadn’t made any changes to the appearance of the blog since I started this thing. It’s probably a criminal offense, particularly seeing as I work in marketing and I do creative stuff all day… (I gave at… Read more »
It’s time for my every-six-month follow-up. As you can tell by the title of this post, it was a good visit for the first time in a long time. While I had some spots I was concerned about, I know that I’m paranoid about anything on my skin that is reddish and circular. Fortunately, most of those will be benign… Read more »
This Thursday in the U.S. is our Thanksgiving holiday. Generally, it’s the time of year when friends and families gather together to eat a massive amount of turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie and then watch American football. But it’s also the time of year when you’re supposed to reflect on your blessings and give thanks. I’m not saying that every… Read more »
I’m kind of a workaholic. Attribute that to my mom, who worked tirelessly from the time she was young until just a few years ago. She held a variety of low-paying grunt jobs while I was growing up – dishwasher, assembly in a factory – the kind of jobs that most normal people would call in sick on a regular… Read more »
