Does this count as my first time?
So the other day I was talking to a group of women who kept rattling off all these A-list celebrities they’ve seen (sometimes more than once) in Los Angeles, while I was telling them that I’ve been in the city for 10 months and hadn’t really come across anyone.

A few busy days ahead
Posting will be light here over the next few days, as I’ll be traveling, and have a number of projects that have been consuming much of my time over the past few weeks.

Yet the conundrum of trying to walk the delicate balance between confrontation and conflict resolution [...]
