On Divorce

One of my favorite stories that I like to reference is when Prince Charles, at that time, was betrothed to Diana Spencer. There’s a famous news clip of the young couple, probably the BBC, with a reporter asking Diana about…

On Unicorns

Happy Sunday. I wanted to say something along the lines of another note, another week under our belt. But then I realized that technically Sunday is the start of the week, not the end. We have been conditioned to think…
