I picked up a pickleball paddle six months ago, and like everyone else, I’m completely hooked.
The rules of pickleball seemed simple enough—don’t hit the ball in the kitchen (or “no volley zone”), let it bounce twice, and, yes, try not to embarrass yourself.
But after several humbling defeats (and a pretty nasty calf
My “innie” at work would not approve of Lumon Industries; my “outie”, though, is obsessed with it.
If you still think your “Innie” is referring to your belly button, then you likely aren’t watching one of the biggest television shows of this year — Severance (which can be found on Apple TV+).

Yesterday I talked about a new law that will impact the hiring process. But there’s another new law that employers need to comply with starting October 1, 2021. This one, though, is simpler than some of the others. If you want to look at the law itself, it’s Public Act 21-69.
