dating apps I tried to write about this topic back in 2023 and yet didn’t get very far. I wrote: I first downloaded Tinder roughly two weeks after my ex and I split up. Since then, I’ve downloaded, deleted, and re-downloaded Tinder and other various dating apps in the hopes that I meet someone different. …

Every weekday I try to do some writing. I made a promise to myself to “just write” (as the idiom goes). I leave my place, go to a coffee shop or wine bar, then sit down and write. If it’s after work, I’ll usually do a small little journal entry to get into the groove …

hello rowing or: how I stopped worrying and learned to love cardio
It all started with a slight twinge inner, right elbow; or more specifically the area known as the antecubital fossa. I would climb and then it would hurt. So I’d take a 15 minute break and then go again, wincing at the pain. So I took a break. Went back after the (too) short time …
