Brain Fog Yesterday, while I was making dinner, I had an idea about what I would write here. Today, less than 24 hours later, that particular brilliance eludes me. I am a logical person, a scientist, with a good memory, at least historically, with one particular...

Small Pleasures I'm watching the news about the fires in my home state of California, and in Oregon, where so many people I love live. I'm seeing friends and family post on Facebook and Instagram. It's terrifying. [Ed's note: The sky is very red and it looks like the...
