“Hey Siri, set the timer for fourteen minutes,” Cookie Monster said at the beginning of a cute commercial I saw over the weekend. “Play waiting play list,” he then asks, prompting his phone to serenade him to the haunting lyrics Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle. “If I...

I couldn’t help but notice the rather over-sized box tucked behind the couch in the living room after school one day. “Whose was it?” Curiosity instantly got the best of me… I had to peek. I crawled up on the couch, leaned over and flipped the tag. “To Karen.” It was...

“I think I’m going to write a book,” I said to a friend several years ago. “Are you sure you mean you?” they shot back instantly without any consideration. That brief exchange is imprinted like a photograph in my memory. It hasn’t faded one bit with time. I’ll admit,...
