Posted in life, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 30, 2009 | 12 Comments »

In fourth grade, the snaggle-toothed kids in my class began sporting shiny squares of metal strung with wire on their fangs teeth, and  I was smitten.

Childhood Illness: Homesickness

Posted in family, friends, tagged , , , , , , , on January 23, 2009 | 10 Comments »

As my childhood friends will attest, growing up I was plagued with homesickness.  I have vivid memories of my bleary-eyed, pajama-clad mom or dad pulling into a friend’s driveway in the wee hours of the night to bring me home from yet another failed attempt at the childhood rite of passage: the sleepover. 
Homesickness was much easier when it struck close [...]
