High school high: what happens when I see my old friends
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with high school friends. Whenever I have that pleasure, I always return home feeling a glow that is different from typical happiness.

On April 5, 1987 I married a man I really didn’t know very well. Well, I knew him but we’d only been together for six months and if you think that means you know someone —DING, DING, DING. Not possible. Today is April 5, 2013 and yes, now I know him. And my life is... Read more »
