Time travel doesn’t seem to work. That statement might not age well, but for now, we’re willing to bet a pair of self-lacing Nike Mags it doesn’t. As far as we know, the closest we’ve come to voyaging in a phone booth, a DeLorean, or a hot tub comes from the astrophysicists in England currently who are actually looking into the past through giant telescopes — real thing. The high-IQ guys and gals in lab coats are also whispering over their two-inch-thick glasses that the real way to jump around in time is to travel at the speed of light or beyond. Not impossible, but it’s early November 2024 and we have yet to run into Superman spinning the Earth, Doctor Who, or the kids from Hogwarts and their Time Turner device. Would humans benefit if we could go back or forward in time? Or are we right where we’re supposed to be? What if, instead of changing time, we changed our perspective of how to talk to ourselves and our neighbors to include a little more love, hope, and joy? Big, deep questions aside, enjoying the present and ways forward on a Thursday.

Run, Anik, Run
More than 55,000 humans, including our pal Anik, ran, jogged, walked, skipped, hopped, crawled, wheeled, danced, or did some other form of movement for 26.2 miles to cross the big ole blue finish line at this year’s NYC Marathon. Some of the better words of encouragement they likely saw along the way.
