Resentment Is Dangerous

by Daniel on November 26, 2020 posted in People

I don’t have the energy to spell out a scenario that might apply to you. What you need to know is that you’re hurting yourself and your future when you hold onto resentment.

The Hardest Part of Saying What You Mean

by Daniel on August 18, 2020 posted in People

I’ve started more than a hundred articles that never saw the light of day. Sound extreme? 

It is. And yet, it’s completely reasonable. As I’ve aged, I see the world differently. I see my role in this world much differently. And I can’t justify mouthing off at 43 like I did at 33.

Do they even use pesos in Columbia? I’m guessing not. That’s a shame. Pesos would be YUGE.

by Daniel on May 6, 2020 posted in People

I’m watching Megyn Kelly interview Tara Reade on Instagram. Earlier I watched clips of late night show hosts talk informally from their homes. There’s something about simple video production that makes celebrities seem so much more normal.
