Fatherly Wisdom
My family had a Father’s Day get-together on Sunday, at my aunt and uncle’s farm (that’s a bit deceptive; it hasn’t really been a farm in recent years, but it’s been in the family for generations and we still call it a farm). It was an amazingly peaceful, relaxing, pleasant day, in spite of a…

My fire escape Fourth of July
I spent my Independence Day evening having a picnic on my building’s fire escape with my roommates, Shana and Tristy.
