Chatting with my friend Noah, the teenage creator of Andromeda Fight League.

November 28, 2016

Noah Massaro lives across the street from me. He's a smart and creative 16-year-old who loves fantasy and gaming and he created a really incredible board game called Andromeda Fight League. He built the game around a great premise that avoids pitting characters against each other with the aim to kill. Instead, the backstory involves warriors coming together after a time of war, using their powers to battle each other in an exercise to maintain peace. The characters include enchanters, creatures . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Ari

November 23, 2016

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

The season of phlegm: on avoiding Flu FOMO

November 18, 2016

This post was sponsored by Clorox Warning: California resident about to whine about winter. Temper resentment accordingly. I hate winter. I HATE IT. I’ve never liked it. I spent most of my childhood in Central Florida, where the winter was a time when you wore a cardigan over your tank top. When I was 18, I decided I wanted to college somewhere where I could “experience the seasons”. But really, I did this with all the anthropological curiosity of someone going to live with an ancient . . .
