You are here, at the start of a moment… Double Digits! A decade in this world and with our family. You reminded us last night that you wouldn’t technically turn 10 until 7:55 a.m. this morning and joked you were going to shout out, “I’m 10!” when the time came at school. You are very […]

I wrote and shared another version of this post one year ago today. At some point since then, I found my notes from a session with an old therapist (who moved out of state a few years ago). I discovered that processing “missed potential,” and not “missed opportunity,” were the actual words she used to […]

Tuesday, 1-9-96 12:49 AM London 6:49 PM E-Town (1-8-96) First class at Birckbeck today: International Business!
