  1. Do you wash your legs with soap?
    I do, but I keep hearing that this is odd behaviour.
    (totally related article from Forbes)
  2. If you had a ton of extra money what would you spend it on?
    For me, it’d be a Pete’s Frootique salad station in my house.
  3. Do you wear underwear when you workout?
    I do, but some say the liners in running shorts should be enough.
    (totally related article from Huffington Post *warning, the word moist is used)
  4. Are you a Patreon to any podcasts?
    I pay $0.99/month to Ologies because it always makes me happy.
  5. Do you recline your seat on an airplane?
    I just can’t. The guilt is worse than a sore back.
    (totally related listen from This American Life)

Plus one random thought… How are people taking selfies on the top of Mount Everest? My phone dies as soon as the temp drops down to 5 degrees.

That’s all. I’d love to know your answers. Hook me up.

  • Plant swaps and virtual plant appointments… as the world falls apart, we become more and more obsessed with houseplants. (Homestead Brooklyn, The Sill)
