Damnit, we made it. Today only happens six times each year. A big day for us all. The gang who puts together this almost-daily newsletter vs. Lisa at the printer. Oh, Lisa, we love you. She asks us where the files are, and we give her every "coming any moment" excuse in the book until we can upload at the very last minute only after we've made sure it's extra good. It's print deadline day for Flow Trip Magazine. The day we send our next act of love off for Lisa and her team to turn the files into 140-plus pages of high-quality, real-life content to be shipped around the world. A print magazine to feel connected in an increasingly digital world — what a time. But this time, we also asked Lisa if we could have a holographic cover because it's The Cosmic Issue, and she said yes. So turns out we're all on the same team, and we should stop bullshitting her because she knows that there is no way a monkey broke into our house this morning and turned on the radio which made us slip and spill coffee all over the dog, which made the dog bite us, so we tried to stop the bleeding using the print outs of the magazine because we couldn't find a band-aid. She knows that already. Anyway, the mag is headed to print — any minute now. Someone tell Lisa we love her. Any minute now.

If you’re on the fence about who to leave your millions to post-mortem, you have options. A small town in France that you’ve never visited is one of them. At least this guy thought so.
