| Can you believe it's August already? I guess I kind of can. There's really nothing more predictable than the gradual and inevitable slog of time. In fact, to some extent, there's nothing more believable than the fact that time has moved forward and it is now a different time than it was before. Even so, I cannot believe it's August! I said I was going to solve all the world's problems in July, read every new Thrillist article, embrace all of my temperamental flaws and use them to my advantage, make amends for every wrong I've ever done, seek out apologies for all the wrongs done to me, and read all of Proust. Guess I'll have to do that in August. If you love adorable Swiss towns, coconut flan, blood orange spritz cocktails that are perfect for Leo season, Airbnbs for "digital nomads," and a fun new movie on Hulu, you are going to love today's stories. It's time for me to learn how to surf, even though I have absolutely no coordination or natural survival instincts and am stultifyingly afraid of sharks.
