High School Just Ain’t As Appealing As It Once Was
I’ve been hearing from a few more people from my distant past than usual these days as this fall there is a milestone reunion of my high school class and the one that preceded it being planned. Most of these are people I didn’t spend all that much time with when I was in school

CNN’s Ethan Cohen is live-blogging as we type: The sun is coming up over Washington, DC, and the Michigan
I’m SO Ready To Be Roped In Again.
At the risk of being still more redundant than usual, I’ll own that this recent heat wave has been kicking my butt pretty harshly.

I’ve been guilty of reacting prematurely to press releases, sizzle reels and proofs of concept that to me came off as overly aspirational and/or filled with more than the
