What is the funniest thing someone has said to you?

What’s the funniest thing someone has said to you?

When I played high school football our coach used to tell us, “Way to be” any time we did something good. It became something of an inside joke. What does that saying even mean? Good, great, bad, terrible, it could be any or all of those. Perhaps it’s existential, as in way to BE or a way to exist? It’s such a perfect phrase and such a useless phrase, both at the same time. You can use it to describe anything and to mean anything. I love it. So, if you ever hear me saying “way to be” I’m probably trolling you.

If you could ask anyone to lunch, who would it be (and why?)

I would invite Dua Lipa to lunch. She is my all-time favorite singer and I love the music she puts out. I think her style (music and fashion) is really exciting, and she holds herself really well in spite of her fame. I read a Vogue interview with her recently and I really resonated with the things she seems to care about, plus I find the work she’s doing outside the music industry to be interesting and worth advocating for. I saw her concert in Denver and it was AMAZING!
