A nearly lost art →
I went on a date with myself tonight.
I treated myself to that newly-opened incarnation of La Piadina, which I remember being a favorite of mine back in college. The piadinas look nothing at all…

Before the memory gets lost. →
I have never felt more Asian, or more beautiful and exotic, but when I was in the East Coast back in Oh-Eight. My skin was beautifully tinged brown, my eyes were perfectly Asian, and my chubby…

Why football needs our love →
Unless we make it different this time, starting with football. Instead of asking our athletes for medals and victories in exchange for our love and admiration, maybe we ought to ask them instead for grit, for fortitude, for heart. It’s a lesson from the playground that has been largely lost on us, that it really isn’t about whether we win or lose, but how we play the game.

The new life rules
Life doesn’t always have to be complicated, hectic, or a source of headache. Well, my life anyway. I know that some people thrive on informing others exactly how busy their lives are (you know these people, the ones who just need to tell us of the fifty things that they need to do within the next hour, and how hectic this day is in italics) and quite frankly, I don’t really want to end...
