I had a word today. A whole plan. And then the day happened, and the thing I wanted to write about didn't. This happened instead.

I used to not like spring. Weird, right? But I've learned to appreciate it and now look forward to many things about it, not least of which is strawberry season. Today, we celebrate the first day of spring and the hope it brings.

This is my Academy Awards of books. Most I loved, and a few I hated. Welcome to the red carpet. Let the reading begin.

Most of us like to think of ourselves as pretty honest. But is there room for white lies or a bit of hedging? These are the questions that get pondered today.

Today is St. Patrick's Day, and I can't help but think in green. So I picked the greenest icon of all to learn about today, the clover. It turned up some fascinating things.

Today's word is inspired by a lost hour of sleep and a reflection on our strange, ambivalent relationship with time.

Seashells have been speaking to me my entire life, begging me to pick them up and put them in my pocket, asking me to take them home. Mostly, I oblige. Today I pay them a little homage.
