I had a rude awakening this summer when I pulled out the UK size 2.5 shoes I had bought for my son a couple of months earlier, only to find that they were far too small already. I mean, I should have realised since he had been wearing size 3 sneakers for a while. But sizing is weird on feet, espe...

When I got this dog, I knew I would have to walk him. I walk my dog approximately five miles a day. I walk him through alternative paths and routes I have chosen for that day. These routes carry us through the neighborhood and into the next neighborhoods, offering variety to the mundane task of lead...

Walking the Camino de Santiago is unlike any other hike I have ever done. It is one of the toughest physical challenges I have ever experienced. Mistakes were made but now I know better, and yes, I would do it again. It’s the adrenaline rush when you cross the finish line of a grueling maratho...

“Cox, after being given a fatal fetal diagnosis, asked for an emergency order to get an abortion: it was her plea to the state to prevent her baby’s suffering and to stop her own. In a just world, it would be unthinkable for a woman to have to beg the courts for such a thing. But Co...

Marco led me to the entrance of a dark alley. The streetlights were far off, and I could barely make out what lay ahead, seeing only dumpsters and a few homeless people huddled in a corner. I heard scurrying city rats. We were on our way to dinner. And we were running late. “Let’s tak...
