My slice of life on Earth happens to be one with bottled Poland Spring water.

I still don’t think people realize how reading the dictionary and immersing yourself in language can be, 1) inherently fun, and 2) good for a writer. I get funny, ranged reactions when I mention this new hobby to people.

Did not expect Jerry Seinfeld to be promoting transcendental meditation.

As an editor, it’s a good idea to reserve “Fuck!” and “Amen” (the profane and sacred words) once per essay, at the moment something really hits or connects.

Perhaps the weirdest research rabbit hole of my year: analyzing the shit of different African animals that existed at he time of Homo Habilis (1-3 million years ago).

We Earthlings do weird things to celebrate holidays. For Christmas we cut down all the evergreen trees. For Thanksgiving we genocide the turkeys. For Easter we take perfectly fine eggs and crack them against each other in competitive brackets. I just don't understand; on Earth Day why don’t we burn garbage in back yards and dump poison in the river
