Love You, Mean It

I am currently on a plane headed to the Midwest for Ann Arbor to celebrate my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary.   Yes, that's them - how cute are they?  These two humans have chosen to stay together for 5 decades.  Kinda blows your mind a little bit doesn’t it?  I don’t think I like...

Stuck in a Moment

Oh.  My.  God.  If you haven't fully indulged in the musical masterpiece that is Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now, stop what you're doing and watch the music video NOW.  You're Welcome.  Grab a snack - it's over 7 minutes long.  My friends and I rediscovered this song on a road-trip to...

the way way back

Blasts from the past.  There really is now way of avoiding it when you meet up with old friends, which is what I did the other day.  Names came up that I haven't thought about in years.  Old roommates, apartments, past relationships and jobs - you name it, we talked about it.  It seemed like...
