-Life seems so backwards sometimes. When you are young you are skinny. But you don’t appreciate it. You also have lots of energy, but lack the wisdom to use it wisely. And most people face starting a family at about the same time they’re trying to build a career. Is it possible to excel at both?

-Severance on Hulu is one of the best TV shows ever. The other TV shows I would put on my list are Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and The Office. Severance season 2 just ended and while I wait for Season 3 (probably a year away), I am going to rewatch the first two seasons again.

-You ever look at the speedometer on your car and wonder why it goes so high, and if in fact it would really go that fast. Julie’s speedometer goes to 180. I wonder…

-Mary asked me last night if I ever used Algebra or complex math in any of my jobs. I couldn’t think of a single time. That turned into a conversation about why kids have to learn certain things they will almost certainly never need or use while they’re not taught things they almost certainly should know.

-A friend made fun of my color blindness the other day, and now I question our future as friends. I mean, that was a huge gray flag to me.
