How was your week, friends? I spent the first half up north at a friend’s cabin and the rest of it enjoy Proper Fall Weather after 2+ weeks of rain. Gorgeous! This weekend we’re helping a friend celebrate his 35th birthday and phone banking for the DFL.

Mini Travel Guide: The Galicia Region of Spain
What's that you say? There's more to Spain than Madrid? Like a whole, Catalan-speaking, culturally unique area of the country? Yes!

‘Where Are They Now?’ True Story Interview Updates!

I put that "work" in quotes because all I really do is write up the questions that we're all dying to ask and then post the answers on this blog. You guys are the ones who offer to share your stories. You're the...
True Story: I’m a cat
Today, we're trying something totally different - a True Story interview by proxy. For this very special post, I partnered up with pet psychic and communicator Theresa Cooley to interview ... my cat.

New Thing: Be In My Life
Every year I make a list of new things to try. These New Things are a pretty predictable mix of physical challenges, weird foods, and books/movies that everyone-other-than-me is familiar with. But this year, I’m trying something different. Something that’s, honestly, probably a lot more challenging than running a 5k or taking a trapeze class. For my next trick, I’m going to (try to) really,...
True Story: I dropped out of my PhD program to sell lingerie
How far is it from academia to lacy underthings? Maybe not as far as you'd think! Four years into her PhD in English Literature, Jeanna walked away from the academic world to sell pretty underwear (though, of course, it's not quite that simple or straightforward). Tell us a bit about yourself! My name is Jeanna Kadlec, and I'm a 28-year-old ex-academic turned entrepreneur. I also consult,...
