Maybe I was a bit of a wuss in my youth, but I was never comfortable bouncing close to the springs on a trampoline. My mind conjured up all sorts of gory images to keep me away. Things like my foot landing on a spring in such a way that my famously week ankle would [...]

Wednesday morning, Karma settled some kind of vendetta with me, and I’m not sure what I did to deserve it. Generally, I am quite thankful when good karma comes my way. I thank parking-karma, getting-home-from-the-bar-karma, found-extra-money-in-my-pocket-karma, you name it. I am a friend of good karma. So what’s up with my [...]
