Dog Ownership: Still Not Ready

Dog Ownership: Still Not Ready

Like most things I do (or try to do), I take dog ownership to what some people might consider the extreme. I think it’s mostly me trying to repent for my dog ownership sins of the past, but I also think we, as humans with large brains and opposable thumbs, owe...
Know When to Cut Your Losses

Know When to Cut Your Losses

There was this one time someone called me stubborn. It’s a very good super power to have when used for good and not evil. I’ve been rejected countless amounts of times. Job rejections. Sponsor rejections. Romantic rejections. Friendship rejections. Summit...
