Sitting here wrapping up studying and trying to get myself off to bed. I’m nothing more than one large mass of nostalgia. “Homeward Bound” by Simon & Garfunkel is playing — reminds me of growing up, my sister, and my good friend David. I’ve just read an email from an old high school friend — [...]

Several weeks ago I completed the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day, which was every bit as re-energizing and inspirational as [...]
