When I was in high school, the kid who sat in front of me in English class was a master pen spinner, and it was mesmerizing. He would sit there casually exhibiting some serious Don Draper energy and absent-mindedly do amazing things with his pen, while I—a person of low dexterity— watched on in jealousy. But time and…

If you’re able to get a seat near the front of the plane or in an exit row, you’ll likely have more room and be able to get off the plane faster.

The previous owners, in lieu of landscaping, had put a layer of rocks over the entire front yard, which meant that the soil beneath was devoid of all life. But over the years I managed to revive it, turning what was once gray and dead into a habitat…

I am a terrible gardener, but I still somehow managed to grow a whole bunch of (very small) tomatoes. Those tomatoes are really coming in right now, but they’re simply not big enough for slicing. This is a little tragic, because sliced tomatoes are the foundation of my favorite sandwich (the tomato sandwich, which is…
