To say the past year went according to any sort of preconceived notion of how my 40th year might go would be, frankly, a fucking lie. It started off with a bang. Like a human equivalent of a popper full of confetti bang. My best friend came to town. There was cake and mushrooms and […]

For reference: 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31, and 30. Spin class has been getting pretty deep lately. Even when she’s dishing out 90’s themed playlists to ride to, my spin instructor isn’t afraid of life’s big questions. “Why are you here?” she asks, almost rhetorically, as 26 strangers peddle in tandem. “What are you doing this for?”” The class is about sweating your […]

I actually wrote something else about 36. It had to do with space, and how pauses are positive — even when we believe the Dave Eggers mantra that stasis is criminal. We encompassing me, in this essay you’ll never read. I wanted to like this essay. It had some phrases, or darlings if you will, […]
