Today I learned about The Eddie. It’s a big wave invitational surfing competition that takes place on Oahu’s north shore every year that the conditions are right for it…which can sometimes be once every five to ten years! Crazy, right?! They’ll literally only hold it...

Today I learned that MLB players are being harassed online by people who’ve placed bets and lost them. Death threats, stalking, other abusive language. Fan bases have always been hard on players when they’ve struggled, but this goes beyond booing. So…yeah. That’s...

Today I learned that Cortes Bank, one of those wild spots out in the middle of the ocean where waves actually break, is off the California coastline. It’s 100 miles out there, but I had no idea. I remember first learned about Cortes Bank, I thiiiiink, from the movie...

I learned today that both John Adams—the second president of the United States—and Thomas Jefferson—the third—died on the same day, the same year…the 4th of July, 1826. Just the first bit of that factoid is remarkable given how involved the two of them were with each...

Diego just tried to take my headphones case…with his mouth. lol. Apparently, he’s not really a much of a chewer. He’s more of a thief. He likes to take things, but he doesn’t destroy them. Maybe a nibble or two. He didn’t nibble on my headphones…he just wanted to get...

What is the oldest thing I wear? Liz told me to say my skin, but then we realized that skin regenerates constantly, so that’s not right. I said my teeth, which is probably the closest? But, man…the oldest thing I wear? …some of my hats, maybe? I have a baseball cap...

List my top 5 favorite fruits. This is fucked. There are WAY TOO MANY incredible fruits to just choose five. Godammit. Okay…Passion fruit, number one. Truly. I am obsessed with passion fruit. I want it in my smoothies, I want it in my desserts, I want it in my belly....
