Last night before sleep in the v-berth, I imagined a Monica TED Talk on the importance of daily skincare. She opened with a question to the audience: What’s the biggest organ in the human body?

How many times did I forget? When ascending or descending the four flights of concrete stairs that connect the waterfront to town, the rule is don't walk on the stairs.

People say fresh air makes you tired. Monica’s theory was that the effect is mostly dehydration. She advocated for everyone to drink more water than they thought they needed.

Near our house by the river, there’s a groundhog named Phil, a raccoon named Rocky, a heron named Huey, a dozen or more dogs all named Larry, and unquantifiable red squirrels all named Biff.
