Life is like a grapefruit

Stand and deliver

Image via Wikipedia I have a bank account! But not just any account, oh no. I have a bank account with Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo that was formed in the mid-nineteenth century amid the gold rush in California. The one that is obsessed with stage coaches, pioneering and horses. They are definitely staying true […]

I started writing that we’re one day in to our San Francisco life, but I think it might have been two. Between the waking at odd hours and the naps in between brief periods of wakefulness, […]

Letter from America

The last time we left him, our hero was boarding a Singapore Air plane bound for San Francisco. Let’s see what happened next. The Singapore Air experience was, as always, fantastic.

The anxiety of an absence of anxiety

Yesterday, the packers finished packing up and left us with a mostly empty apartment. This moment also signifies the end of the week of stress. It means that everything we had to do before being ready to move on Tuesday is done. You’d think that this feels fantastic, right? The trouble is that I’ve become […]
