A friend is flying back to Chicago and, as god intended, ordered from Tortas Frontera. But his plane has circled four times and counting since he ordered. He’s still in the air. The torta is ready. A modern tragedy.

Hello from my grandparents, Gordon and Alma, on the far right of this photo with friends. 1941. They’d been married about a year and had recently arrived to their new home in Arkansas after graduating from Michigan.

The way my former employer communicated about telling ~4% of its workforce (including me) that they were being laid off remains absolutely confounding to me, a year later.

The elder kid is contemplating starting a blog, in large part to discuss the Man from U.N.C.L.E. (original series). This is a natural move for a Religious Studies Ph.D. candidate focusing on late antiquity.

The bug listened with rapt attention to something he alone could hear—the shouts and applause of an enormous crowd, all cheering for him.
