Sean started singing that song from Hamilton the musical when I told them about a dream I had earlier this week. I woke up to go to the bathroom in the early morning (about 3:00 a.m.) on Monday, as I often do, and immediately remembered that my dad, who seemed to be alive and well, […]

Nine Years ago, I […]

18!!! How is that possible?! It is such an exciting milestone, that also carries with it much responsibility. Which is reminiscent of a famous quote, often attributed to your favorite superhero, Spider-Man, “With great power comes great responsibility.” The last year you have definitely been learning that “Peter Parker” principle, often the hard way. That […]

9 years ago I participated in a year-end blog meme for the first time called Rewind 2011, with fun and interesting questions designed to get writers and readers to reflect on our lives in 2011.
