I don’t read books. Really. I used to be ashamed of this, but then I realized that I read thousands of words every day — they just come in the form of online articles and, when I’m lucky, physical copies of magazines. I’ve been a voracious magazine reader since I…

Lionel Richie is real, there’s no question. His star was born decades ago and solidified through so many hits that I had even forgotten some of them were his (and the Commodores’, of course.) It was refreshing to see someone so real perform; the last time I was at Red…

In the hours before my coveted appointment with Rebecca Rosen, a local medium and author with a years-long waiting list, I was in full-fledged panic-turned-tantrum mode. Though I had gleefully picked up the chance to get a once-in-a-lifetime reading with Rosen weeks earlier, that excitement had worn off by the…

The last time I saw a laser show at the the Gates Planetarium, it was during a time when everything I did centered around where I could smoke cigarettes. That time was the early ’90s and I was fourteen or fifteen. I wasn’t old enough to drive, meaning I ended…
