    These Boots Were Made For Walking

    Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on! Recently I started walking three times a week with one of my neighbors. Specifically to get up off my ass and get moving.

    My Own Private Avocado

    June 30, 2026 /No Comments

    I avoided guacamole for over a decade, convinced my mother was lying about how good it was. Then one bite at a fancy backyard party at age 12 changed everything.

    Music Roulette 8 ~ What’s the Frequency, Spotify

    June 28, 2026 /No Comments

    I read somewhere that music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Listening to certain songs will take us back in time to specific developmental periods in our lives, like timestamps in our personal history. I completely agree. Certain songs mean certain things. And certain songs evoke specific emotions. Music is a powerful tool, certainly not the “blunt tool” that Hannibal Lecter accuses Clarice of using on him at their first meeting in The Silence of the Lambs. Time to dissect with another round of music roulette.
