Dear Reader, How do you view your life ahead of you? Do you see your future as definite or do you view it more vaguely? I tend to see my future in nebulous chunks.

Dear Reader, Needless to say, you are reading this right now. This probably also implies that you understand words to be more significant than typed letters on a page.

Dear Reader, Do you ever have those moments when a song triggers a memory? I was having trouble with my iPhone a few weeks ago. When I took it to the Apple Store they said that the only fix would be to restore my phone to factory settings. While I didn’t lose the important stuff... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, When was the last time that you said goodbye to a friend? The last big exodus of friends in my life was over a year ago now when I graduated from my master’s program.
