Shall We Gather at the River?
Amidst a conference in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I found myself in a country I knew next to nothing about.

Last spring I attended one of those murder mystery dinner parties. If you’ve never been to one, here’s how they work: the host orders a kit that pre-assigns characters to all the guests, provides each of them with certain actions/phrases they will have to bring about throughout the night, and basically sets up a fake… Read More A Great Evening for Murder
