I recently got absorbed by Doc Martin, a British television comedy drama about a socially awkward doctor in a small town. While there is a lot to recommend the show (including homely and interesting characters), this is not an official endorsement (as I also often found it frustrating and silly).

Last week while facilitating a workshop, I said something surprising (even to me!): "I don't really believe in work-life balance, I think it's all life." Several people commented about this afterward, not in the spirit of criticism, but in contemplation. They were pondering how that could be true for them, as well.

The only way to get to Antarctica from the southernmost tip of South America at Cape Horn is to cross Drake’s Passage. Although it is the shortest crossing from the rest of the world to Antarctica, it took us forty-five hours when I made the excursion a few years ago.
