On a recent episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, as Larry David neared the end of a therapy session, he turned his attention to just how uncomfortable the chair was that the therapist had chosen for his patients. As I do embarrassingly often when watching Curb, I found...
I am, by my own admission, a terrible (but improving!) texter. Receiving a text almost always feels like an imposition to me, and nowhere does text feel like a bigger intrusion than when I’m at work. It doesn’t matter if I’m engaged in a legitimate heads-down jam...
When you’re a dad, parenting questions often come up that you struggle to find an answer to. Since other parents are the worst and Google will send you down a rabbit hole of paralyzing, paranoid terror, we’re here to help by putting those questions to the experts....

It happens all the time: You throw a big party; buy all the booze you could possibly need; the evening is a wild success; everyone goes home happy (well, okay, somebody drunk-dials their ex and someone else throws up in a cab, but almost everyone goes home happy);...
Until very recently, I was a firm believer in the “let’s just wing it” mentality. No matter the size of the presentation or the time I had to prepare for it, I held firm in the belief that my charm and quick wit would save me from...
Grief is bad for the heart (you’re 21 times more likely to have a heart attack the day after a death in the family), and bad for the immune system (you’re also more likely to contract an infectious disease), but it can also be bad for the...
Sure, you care about the environment, but, hey, you’re just one guy, so, what can you do? You can’t afford a clean air vehicle, so you’re sticking with burning up those dinosaur bones to get around. You’d like to volunteer your time to scrub oil off of...
