I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately. They’re on Zoom of course, because where else do people talk? I’ve forgotten any other way. Lockdown-inspired sarcasm aside, I’ve been talking to lots of clients and students and colleagues and friends about “these times” we’re living in. We cover lots of different subjects, on the surface […]
There’s a very particular kind of moment I have sometimes. I’ve had them as far back as high school, perhaps even farther. Maybe I’m not the only one. They come around when there is so much I’m supposed to be doing, that I can’t do anything at all. Well, that’s an overstatement. I can do some things.
