Simple Things That Make Life So Much Better

It’s wild how adulthood is mostly learning tiny tricks that make you feel like a genius for doing the bare minimum. Take hangers. My wife once told me to move the empty hanger to the left side of the rack every time I grab a shirt. I thought, “That’s adorable.” Two days later, I was … Read more

Episode 29: Vincent van Gogh — Swirls, Sunflowers, and Stardust Nerves
