If you have ever encountered a dreaded popcorn gremlin, don’t worry, you’re not alone. As this video shows, it is possible to survive these harrowing encounters with your popcorn safe and your sanity intact.

Not every moment went as planned. Take the time we misread the visa requirements for Vietnam and had to make a last-minute detour to Cambodia. We landed with no hotel, no itinerary, and absolutely no clue—yet somehow, we ended up at a charming boutique inn where the staff treated us like old friends. We visited Angkor Wat three days in a row, awestruck by its beauty. It turned into one of those happy surprises that made the journey all the more unforgettable.Turns out, the best memories aren’t the ones we plan. They’re the ones that catch us by surprise and remind us how adaptable—and deeply human—we all are.

People often ask us what the hardest part is. It’s not the long flights, the unfamiliar languages, or even the money. It’s missing our people.We left behind four daughters, nine grandkids, lifelong friends, and the comfort of a family and home we’d spent years building. We miss birthdays, soccer games, and dance recitals. We miss Sunday dinners, messy art projects, and bedtime giggles when babysitting the grandkids.Sometimes, the grief of that distance sneaks in quietly—over a blurry FaceTime call or an empty chair at the holiday table.

But what we’ve gained is something precious: presence.Without the noise of a busy life, we listen better—to each other and to ourselves. Our mornings are slow and full of conversation. We’ve laughed more in the past two years than we did in the 10 before. We’ve argued less. We’ve marveled more.

We’ve also redefined what “home” means. It’s not a zip code or a mortgage. Home is wherever we feel peace—whether we’re savoring street food in Amsterdam, wandering rice terraces in Bali, or standing hand-in-hand at the edge of the South Pacific Sea, wondering how we ever lived so small in such a big, beautiful world.

We’ve been married for 36 years, and through it all—raising kids, building businesses, and now traveling the world—we’ve learned how to support each other in ways we never imagined. Every adventure, every challenge, has only strengthened our bond, reminding us the best part of this journey is doing it together.While Georgia stopped carrying out executions during the pandemic, death penalty cases continued to wind their way through the court system, and as people exhausted their appeals, they became eligible for execution.

A committee of a judicial task force on COVID-19 in early 2021 instructed lawyers for people on death row and the state attorney general’s office to come up with terms under which executions could safely resume. The two sides reached the agreement in April 2021.The agreement only applied to people on death row whose requests to have their appeals reheard were denied by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while the judicial emergency was in place. The agreement was to remain in effect through Aug. 1, 2022, or one year from the date on which the conditions were met — whichever was later.

The legal fight arose from a lawsuit filed when officials set a May 2022 execution date for Virgil Delano Presnell Jr. The Federal Defender Program, which represents Presnell, said the state had violated the agreement because the conditions hadn’t all been met.Based on that argument, a Fulton County Superior Court judge
