I See Dead People (And I Would Rather Not)
What’s a book or movie that genuinely scared you? The movie I could not name Someone asked me which book or movie genuinely scared me, and I knew the answer immediately. I just did not know its name. All I could remember was one small boy, one whisper, and four words: “I see dead people.”…

The Song That Changed My Life (It Is Not the One You Think)
What’s a song that changed your life? Nobody asks “what song changed your life?” expecting an honest answer. They are expecting a beautiful one.

Do I Believe in Karma? Ask the Matatu Driver at Globe Roundabout
Do you believe in karma? People ask me whether I believe in karma as if it’s a matter of faith. It is not. It is a matter of evidence, and I have been collecting evidence since 2002, mostly in traffic. Let me describe the study. A matatu overtakes you on the shoulder along Waiyaki Way,…

50 Days to 50: Head First (Day 0 of 50)
I am 50. And today, I learned to dive. Not metaphorically. Literally, head first, into a swimming pool, with the help of my two nephews, aged 6 and 8. Some context. I have a swimming competition next week, and it has been bothering me that I could not muster the courage to dive. I think…
