People don’t proactively choose Goobers. Except me. I think it’s because people don’t understand the Goober. I’d imagine Peanut M&M’s outsell Goobers by a mile even though they’re practically the same thing, except for the thin...

I’m going out of my way to write this because I can’t get over how much I’ve listened to the final two songs on I Love You So F**ing Much* this past week: On the Run and Lost in the Ocean. Glass Animals is an English band most people know because of...

I’m eating a carrot. I don’t think there’s ever been a time in my life when I’ve gone out of my way to eat a carrot. Ever. It’s been about a month since I found out I had high blood pressure. Coming off Memorial Day weekend, I went in for...

In my early 20s, I’d convinced myself that I was uniquely capable of handling mental hardship. That when faced with adversity where others may crumble, I… I would face it head on, be resilient, and become better. I viewed things like grieving the loss of a...

To the excitement of all my readers, the sub-5 mile streak continued for 2026 extending it to 20 years. Last Saturday Meghan, Harrison and I took to the CB West track to give it a third go on the year. After coming up short with a 5:00.5 and a 5:00.2, I managed a...

Let me run you through my last few days. A few months ago, I did 30 days without alcohol. Then I went to the UK and drank responsibly the entire trip. When I got home, I’d have a few beers during a round of golf. Nothing crazy. Then this past weekend happened....
