I think ceiling fans are so ugly, but right now I am obscenely grateful for them. It is hot.

Tell me this kid isn’t a musical prodigy. Look at Atti showing his mashup skills. He started off with “I Am Like a Star Shining Brightly,” went into “Twinkle, Twinkle,” back to “Shining Brightly,” into “I Am a Child of God,” back to “Shining Brightly,” but this time with a key change, added a little […]

This picture doesn’t have much to do with anything, but I love it too much not to share. Taken by my friend Stacey. Like most of the rest of the internet, I’ve read Maggie’s blog for years and followed along with her Life List adventures, admiring the well-lived life she was creating. I’ve never been […]
