Traveling through space

Power-walking down icy sidewalks, bundled up in my thickest wool coat, it’s hard to believe I was in California not too long ago. Although there’s much that I miss about the West Coast, it feels...

Just when I thought I was really invincible, I came down with a nasty flu. It could be that my body knows me better than I know myself, and I needed to slow down. I spent a few days unable to do...
