Figuring shit out.
If you don't have kids this post might weird you out a little bit because, well, you might not be familiar with the peculiar intimacy of parenthood. But, you don't need kids to laugh at us idiots who have them and are perpetually creeped out by how weird are our own offspring. I used to…
Hey everyone! This week we're back with another episode of You're Gonna Be Great! My mini-podcast series for the COVID-19 era. My goal was 6-7 episodes and I'm almost there. On one hand, I'm sad to see it coming to an end, but on the other hand, I'm really proud of myself for doing something…
It's a shitshow out there but I am so Goddamn inspired by all of the random acts of kindness and positivity in the world right now. What better way to cope with such a fucking insane moment in time than to OD on and distribute well-wishes and love? My friend Ivetta is sewing masks to…
We've been self-isolating for nearly four weeks. Four weeks without seeing friends or family, without going to a restaurant to sit and stare at other patrons, four weeks without gathering on a front porch with our neighbors to have a glass of wine and catch up on life. It's been really hard. Partly because it…

Hello all! I hope you're hanging in there and being safe, unlike my parents who refuse to follow any of the goddamn guidelines and are GIVING ME ANXIETY. Just kidding, but not really. It's been a tough week and I've been experiencing a lot of emotions. A lot of big feelings. I cried during an…

Captain’s Log: The days are long, the nights are dark, I have forgotten what it feels like to wear real pants. I feel like now this is a universal dilemma. Okay, wait, stop. I’m lying. I haven’t regularly worn real pants since 2013. For much of my career, I’ve been lucky enough to be a…

Captain’s Log: It's the seventh or eighth day of social distancing I think. Honestly, I have no idea what day it is anymore. You don't realize how much you need to see other humans in person until there's a pandemic and you're forced to spend your days with a toddler who is smart as hell…

Captain's Log Day Six: The neighbors are friendly and we're all about to snap. Most mornings I take my dog and toddler on a walk around the neighborhood. My street is unusually friendly so I'll get stopped a lot to chat. It's street made up mostly of transplants and they've created their own community that…
