A reliable furnace is the heart of a comfortable home during the cold winter months. However, even the best heating systems can run into trouble when you need them most. Most homeowners wait until the heat stops completely before they pay attention to their unit. In reality, your system usually provides several red flags before a total breakdown occurs. Recognizing the early warning signs of furnace problems can save you from a freezing night. It also helps you avoid the high costs of emergency repairs and parts replacement. Common symptoms of a struggling furnace include uneven heating across different rooms of…

Each spring, otherwise reasonable home cooks lose all inhibitions at the first sight of ramps at the farmers market. Their season is brief, their flavor is punchy, and their reputation precedes them. If you know, you know—and if you don’t, you’re about to.What are ramps?Ramps, also called wild leeks or Allium tricoccum, are a type of wild allium (in the same family as chives, garlic, leeks, scallions, and shallots) that grows in eastern North America. They look a bit like scallions, with small white bulbs and stringy roots, but their broad, tender green leaves set them apart. The plant’s name is derived from…

The other night, 12-year-old Anton and I were chatting at bedtime… While lying under his glow-in-the-dark stars, after talking about fishing, drumming, and how he’s officially going to be a teenager this summer (!!), the conversation turned to love languages. I asked him if he’d ever heard of the pop-psychology concept about the different ways people express and receive love. “There are five love languages,” I explained, then listed them: * words of affirmation (giving compliments, telling someone how much you love them)* acts of service (making someone breakfast, picking someone up from the airport)* quality time (going on long…

What are you up to this weekend? Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate! The boys and I invited friends over for brunch tomorrow, and we’ve been debating the best bagel orders.

The Fundrise venture capital product, VCX, listed on the NYSE on Thursday, March 19, 2026, to remarkable success. It had a NAV of about $19 a share, opened at around $42, briefly rocketed to $125, then closed the day at $76. That is roughly a 300% premium to NAV and far beyond what I thought it would trade at. On the second day of trading, shares closed at $117.7 for a 6X return. I had estimated a 30% chance it could trade at a 50%+ premium to NAV, a 50% chance it would trade at a 10% discount to 10%…

One burning question I get from many readers is how worried they should be about going through security. The answer depends on a lot of variables: the airport, day of the week (weekends are worse), time of day, which terminal you’re using and whether you have TSA PreCheck or CLEAR. Some of the worst airports recently have been Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International and Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport, where many TSA officers have called out sick. I can’t blame them—they’re not getting a regular paycheck right now. Below is video from those airports and others showing…
