  • Thank you, Chris and Charlie

    Today I want to use this space to say “Thank you” to all the people in my life who ever tried to teach me anything. Lord knows this note is – in some cases – 50 or more years overdue.… Continue reading

  • Check Your Fear

    Every morning, right before Patrick the dog and I head out on our morning walk, I check the temperature outside. I usually do that by pulling out my iPhone and saying, “Hey Sirii… what’s the temperature?” Secure with Sirii’s answer,… Continue reading
