Some days are better than others
Whenever I have a bad day — not a rip-roaring shit day, but a generally bad day — I think of this track, off one of my favorite albums by what’s certainly my favorite band. It’s impossible to find a version with just the album cover on YouTube (… Continue reading
Tone IS subtext
Today I had two brief interactions that stood out to me. The interactions were with two different people. The first was a colleague who spoke to a student, with me. In fact, the colleague was introducing the student to me. It was very brief — may… Continue reading
It needs to stop
Today’s truth came to me rather late in the day. Just a few minutes ago, actually. (Thanks, Kate.) Prior to receiving this article, I was likely going to write about the importance of looking after oneself (after yet another trip to the clinic abo… Continue reading
My Personal Best
This is a phrase I love. I’d like to use it more often. Today, I achieved a personal best. I’m uncomfortable publicly sharing exactly what it was for, but let’s just say it’s fitness-related. (That in itself is also one of the reasons I’m uncomfor… Continue reading

Never done
I had so many truths today to write about. So so many. Here is a short list: -Routines hold comfort.-Einstein’s definition of insanity is alive and well in schools.-I am easily coerced into buying shoes.-There is a fine line between one person’s d… Continue reading
New York: it stays
Tonight I went for a run/walk (don’t ask) at Macritchie Reservoir Park. I had my tunes playing on my iPhone, of course. I had decided to run to a “Genius Mix” of hip-hop and rap. First there was some Kanye, then Michael Franti, then Kana’an. And j… Continue reading
