The ‘sample and see’ life When I met my now wife, Robin, I told her I couldn’t cook. I should have told her I didn’t cook. It wasn’t that I was lying.
It’s just that I didn’t cook, so I didn’t know I could cook. Jenny Block on the Celebrity Beyond cruise, top (photo by Emy Rodriquez Flores) There have been lots of things like that in our relationship.
There have been lots of things in my life for that matter. I used to say I don’t go on roller coasters or rock climb or SCUBA dive.
And that was true — until it wasn’t. And the only way I discovered that I did do those things was by doing those things. I stopped saying, “I don’t do” and started giving things a try, even when they seemed out of my wheelhouse or didn’t necessarily appeal to me.
