this spring, i’ve been thinking about a phrase that reminds me to “gather friends like flowers.” i bring this up because i consider myself a friendly person. more often than not i engage in random conversations with whomever i happen upon: bank teller, grocery checker, passer-by walking their dog—as mom would say, greet everyone with [...]

when I was a kid, my family would go out and chop down our own christmas tree, drag it to the car, get it home and set it up. then the fun would begin. everyone seems to have their own idea of how a tree should be decorated but as a kid you don’t know [...]
