This originally ran in our weekly newsletter Local Edition. You can join the conversation here. A few months ago, my son, Max, got me thinking about adaptation. “Everything is different!” the 9-year-old blustered from the back seat after his Kindle finished updating. “I can’t find anything now!” “That stinks,” I told him.

When was the first time you smoked weed? For those who’ve never indulged (or perhaps never inhaled), the question might seem too personal for an interview. But, for the millions of Americans who smoke marijuana, it could be an entrée to a host of interesting questions: Where are you from? Who’d you hang out with when you were in high school?

Over the years I have asked ­numerous jazz musicians the same question: what goes through your mind when ­improvising? The answers vary wildly, from the technically obtuse to the infuriatingly abstract, but the general consensus – whether the interviewee is a legend such as Herbie ­Hancock or John McLaughlin, or an ­unsigned music student – ­generally boils down to “as little as possible”. No one has ever […]

Dawn is the time to see Angkor Wat. Waiting in the dark as the exquisite 11th-century temple is conjured out of the Cambodian jungle feels ridiculously thrilling.
