I’m almost finished the first draft of this story. I started writing on Monday. I didn’t know I was going to write this one.

The trash men said if your shit wasn’t out on time try again next week. They got up got it done and moved on. As cold as it is, I hope they finish soon and get to relax, but I’m grateful for the work they do.

The thing is, it's still possible to do a lot of things you want to do. It may be slow to get there but trying is worth it.

They can’t. Welcome to the era of hooked on phonics failures. And too scared to sound it out.

We don't talk about homonymns anymore and the struggle that they are. I mean people fail every day with synonyms but homonymns...that's the killer.

If I had to say one thing about what I did this year it was to show up. The point was to make the effort to make time and space for the people who matter the most to me. The rest is irrelevant.

I started dreaming about arguing Cayman tax laws with someone, and the costs of havens. This is how I know it’s time for a break.

I love that my people still just call me, no warning, no preface. Some calls are two minutes some are two hours, but I enjoy it.

I handed someone a piece of paper with a bunch of handwritten notes to incorporate into a document. The face she made at the fact that it was written in cursive still makes me laugh.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I love Fela Kuti's music (my apple music wrap said exactly that) but specifically in THIS moment, his music feels important. The DHS/ICE "Zombies" coming to our cities leaving Sorrow, Tears, and Blood (dem regular trade mark,) while Elon Musk the International Thief Thief makes off with our money.

There's lots of data to show cardiac troubles spike during the holidays amid the mix of merrymaking, travel and stress. But there are ways to spot the signs of trouble before it's too late.

I just spoke to a customer service rep that was wildly rude. It's too early in the day and late in the year for that, I will let my problem be solved another way, but remember you chose this route.

One thing about my interactions with strangers is that we’re going to use our imagination. What excites you? What are you looking forward to? What do you like? Ask people those questions open ended and watch them light up. It sparks genuine connections or shows the content of character really fast.

Today someone at work asked me where I went on vacation. I replied that I never said that I was going on vacation, I took days off. This is what happens when people try to mind my business. Now let us sit here awkwardly while you scramble.
