The cozy, sturdy structure in our backyard that my husband built last year has cycled through several names, some of them even before the walls were up. At first, we called it the “learnin’ shed,” planned for our kids’ distance learning. Then it was the “instead shed,” built with money for a trip to France that the pandemic canceled. For a time, he jokingly referred to it as his mistress because of the amount of time he devoted to it, and one day I called […]

Now, that figure is 71%, with 54% saying they would opt to continue working from home even once the pandemic is over and […]

Photo: Giovanni Colantonio When I was young, there were two specific things I liked. The first was Pokémon , naturally. As a child of the 90s, it was simply inescapable. I wanted any piece of Pokémon merch I could find, no matter what it was. To this day, I’ll remember an obscure toy I had and think, “Wait, why did I own that?” You could have slapped Pikachu on a power sander and I would have begged my parents for it (actually, I’d still like […]
