The nest

Toss a ball at the roulette wheel of my day-to-day, and you’ll probably hit “nesting.” A book and a pot of tea, some drone and a few sticks of aloeswood. Ms. Katz, of course. We both enjoy long periods of introspection.

Yet I continue to observe among people my age an enthusiasm for whitewater rafting, for ziplining, for parachuting and bungee cord jumping, rappelling and motocross, for parkour, fire eating, shark wrestling, and all things X-treme, all of which serve to remind me that my own appetite for adrenalin is terribly small.
