“It’s never too late!” and other cliches exist for a reason. They’ve been said and believed enough to be repeated. It’s not problematic if they are true enough to be helpful or helpful enough that they don’t have to be true. Yet they’re familiarity i...

The two don’t seem like they should be in rapid succession on a “to do list” right? Brushing your teeth is such a mundane task that most people would take it off the list if they could. Conquering the world is so big and amorphous. How does one even...

It’s hard to say how many people remember the band Dangerous Toys. Not exactly a one hit wonder because they had two songs that I remember as “hits” but they weren’t mega stars. One of the songs from their self-titled album was called “Ten Boots” tha...

The concept of sunk costs is pretty simple. Money, time, effort or any other currency that has already been spent is a “sunk cost.” Although you may have invested in something in the past, those resources are gone and cannot be recouped. Therefore us...

That’s right! I’m ready to have a good old fashioned temper tantrum. Like a toddler who is exhausted but refuses to go to bed, I’m leaning into my own idiocy. It’s not my best state and in a very meta sense, I am watching myself from the outside. The...

Although it’s not my favorite song (even by Eric Clapton), it has the ability to transport me to a time when I had fewer responsibilities and cares. I remember Tom Cruise in a t-shirt that just said “Vince” and swinging a pool cue like it was some ki...
