Something Satisfying
Reality check: It’s the end of a long, two-show day, and I didn’t have a blog post pre-written for this moment. I ran out of time. Writing and posting a blog post every day is a hard challenge.

Hedonic Adaptation: The Problem With Getting Everything You Want
Laying on the warm-up floor in the artistic tent, I look up at the rings that are rigged from the ceiling. I don’t want to warm up on the boy’s rings, but in order to use mine, I’d have to bring down these rings and re-rig mine. What. A. Pain.

Escape Room Do’s And Don’ts
I went to an escape room today. The theme was ‘wild west,’ a bit strange in contrast to the location of Sochi, Russia.
