Kick Monday’s Ass: my new workshop + a weird story about washing clothes (Feb 21, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… In case you missed it, on Friday I announced a brand new in-person event I’m calling Eat. Play. Launch. (hat tip to Chris Orzechowski – HI CHRIS! – for lending his genius to that absolutely fucking perfect name) I’m excited about this one, and not just because I get…
Read MoreSunrise at Mesa Verde
At first when I sat down to write this, I was noodling with the idea of transitions, and how they can be difficult but beautiful. And then I decided to just post the damn pictures. Maybe I’ll be poignant later, but for now… my trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Someone recommended this to me…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: when (ridiculous) dreams come true… (Feb 14, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I did it. I FUCKING DID IT. This weekend, I put my butt on the Four Corners, as promised. The first image is of me sitting cross-legged in a circle of cement. The second is of a kind stranger who offered to take a picture of me with all…
Read Moreyour comforter doesn’t go in your washer
Fun fact I learned this week: washing big bulky bedding in an average home washing machine can throw off the balance of the machine, cause lumps in your comforter, or even shorten the lifespan of your washer. So where does one wash comforters, if not in the washer? I’ll give you a hint: I don’t…
Read Morea tale of two remote controls (first world problems, digital nomad edition)
You want digital nomad hacks? Here’s a particularly brilliant one I came up with. It solves a vital problem. First, a picture: Can you guess which one is mine? That’s right. I blue-taped that bad boy so I don’t accidentally take my host’s remote by mistake. Other things blue tape is handy for: marking all…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: snow – pretty to look at, sucks to drive in (Feb 7, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I knew it snowed in Santa Fe… I just didn’t know it snowed THIS much. That’s not a complaint, by the way. Especially since I finally understand that whole thing about “it’s a dry cold”. I’ve actually acclimated pretty quickly to snow and ice, all things considered. Generally speaking,…
Read MoreGroundhog Day: Angie edition
Heeeeeeeeeyyy Feb 2! I forgot all about your fucked up-ness with the fat rodent predicting our weather. But it’s probably the first time in over 10 years that I’ve woken up on Feb 2 with several inches of snow on the ground. Went outside in my slippers to snap a pic because it was pretty.…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: balloon buddies and hidden opportunities (Jan 31, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I did a “bucket list” thing last Friday… In case you can’t see the images above, that’s me in a hot air balloon suspended over Albuquerque, New Mexico just after sunrise. I’m glad I waited to Google “hot air balloon accidents” until after I got back down on the…
